The seats in this car are the optional dakota leather sport seats, which have a HUGE number of adjustments - everything from the tilt of the headrest to how much the side bolsters grab on to you to even an extension for your legs to rest on... I could fall asleep in these seats. The sport package has a few other interior tweaks including the steering wheel being different...


Push-button start - that recognizes the key fob of the person who unlocked the car and sets the climate, seat, radio station, etc with the last settings used by that person.
You can also see the rain sensing wiper switch which sounds kinda neat but it hasn't rained since I got the car so I dunno for sure...


Home link and "BMW SOS" (pretty much identical to on star) and some other switches up here...


13 speaker harmon kardon 'logic 7' sound system.
The acoustics are very good IMO - the bass is clean until it tries to play ghetto low... then it gets weak and loses clarity at anything above moderate volumes. But still overall sounds good.
There's a bunch of other menus in here including voice commands, bluetooth phone options, etc... since this car is missing nav they try to pack a lot in here and it takes a while to figure it all out.

The climate control has a pollution sensor that switches to recirculate when it smells 'bad' air.

The 'rest' button funnels hot air from the warm motor into the cabin to keep the interior warm for about half an hour on cold days when you're going to be getting back in the car shortly.

The 'sport' mode on this car is the FIRST I've ever driven that makes a drastic different in the way the transmission actually shifts. It'll snap your neck back on up and down shifts in sport mode.
