I don't ever say this. Perhaps it is because my gear head 7 year old knows as much about the car as I do. When I get in, he automatically hits the start button, shifts it into the correct gear and hits the Homelink button if necessary. When we get out he automatically uses the convenience panel to lock the doors.

His feet never go on the seats and he treats it like it was his own car-because he's already planning on somehow getting ahold of it when he's old enough. He's even pesting me to teach him how to drive the 6MT on the S2000, always insisting on shifting gears whenever it's safe.

Anyone who complains that BMW doesn't have enough automation and tech just isn't driving with the correct passengers. My car has literally auto-EVERYTHING.
