If enough people demand it it should be easy enough for them to include it on the iDrive in a software update, perhaps a petition should be started.

I agree it's a shame that BMW have had to compromise over things like LSD's but I can also understand that they have no choice if they want to stay competitive. They don't have the same luxury that Audi has in using the same VAG platforms for several different cars and that's always been the appeal for me - when you buy a BMW it's a bit more special, no one can tell you that your 1 Series is a Golf/Fabia/Ibiza/Passat etc. unfortunately 95% of car buyers don't appreciate this. With restrictions on emissions, pedestrian safety etc, they have to adapt if they want to survive in an ever tougher market. As long as they still cater for the enthusiasts at one end of the scale I can accept a more mass market approach at the other, we just need to keep being the vocal minority and not let them forget.
