Very anonying defects

GF has had the 23d for 6 months now and here is the list of pain in the butt defects or design flaws:

If you have the right central vent of the airconditioning working and pointed upwards the air flow hits the built in microphone...the person on the other side of the line cant hear anything

the leather seats do not have any venting at all - i.e. no ribs to let air flow...result is extremely hot between body and seat

even with the sun protection windows (which are only applied to the back passengers windows) the sun heat goes smack into the cabin - unusually so and when driving with direct sun light it gets too hot - I think BMW forgot to apply the RV filter...at least compared to my mini

due to the previous point the car heats up when left in direct sun light...wayyyyy tooo much

when cruising along if you have you left foot on the foot support you dont feel any vibrations...put it flat on the floor and there is some vibrations - bare foot at least

when the fuel is low you cant see the external temp...pain in the butt

consumption does not go below 9.5....

thats it for now...anybody else have any of the above?
