So what do you dislike about your W205?
For me without doubt it is the sound quality of the audio 20 radio and media as it is shocking beyond words. I hate it and as someone who lives with the music on it is really spoiling the whole C Class experience for me with its cheap and nasty sound that sounds no better than my £20 bedside radio.

The main thing I hate about my 2015 C300 is what the car lacks...some things for instance that are available or standard on a new 3 series BMW:
1) No heated sport steering wheel or heated rear seats
2) Passenger mirror does not tilt down in reverse gear (to see curbs better). Passenger mirror doesn't dim automatically like the driver's mirror does either (edit: found out today it can be programmed to tilt when in reverse...thanks guys!).
3) One cannot permanently disable the ECO auto-engine shutoff
4) Slow 3G service
5) Some sort of fog light system
Options I wish my MY2015 had:
1) Remote start
2) A DVD player that played Blu-Ray movies
3) Audible "beeps" when pulling up to or backing up to objects (parktronic should be a standard feature with the backup camera)
1) No heated sport steering wheel or heated rear seats
2) Passenger mirror does not tilt down in reverse gear (to see curbs better). Passenger mirror doesn't dim automatically like the driver's mirror does either (edit: found out today it can be programmed to tilt when in reverse...thanks guys!).

There's nothing I don't like about my car.
- I always wear my seat belt, even if going a few feet (it's just habit, but a good one anyway)
- I love the Burmester Sound system
- The C300 has plenty of power for me
- It's sublimely comfortable
- I'm happy when I'm behind the wheel and if there was one thing I could change would be to be able to be there more often

3) I am able to shut it off with the green-lit "A" button on the control console
5) I agree with you
What I hate:
1) seat belt chime definitly #1
2) Air conditioning whines and doesnt produce on a cold start, usually takes 5 minutes to finally come on
3) birds seem to **** on my car everyday
4) Car doesnt fly or turn into a jet ski
Everything else I love!
My burmeister sound system is great, i love the deep base

BMW allows you to disable their ECO system permanently by pressing the button above the engine start button...once only.

The only thing I don't like is the implementation of the parking sensors. I would prefer to have more audio feedback earlier rather than no beeps at all until the bars turn red and contact is imminent.
Everything else is great! A real pleasure to drive.

The only thing I hate is the eco start/stop issue, I do find the lack of a track/station forward/back button on the steering wheel to be incredibly annoying though.
It's still a great car and far better than anything else in its class, especially when appropriately optioned.

For me it only happens if I turn the fans down to zero (climate control off essentially). If I leave them at 1 when I shut the car off or when I turn it on then it's fine.

OK, #2...this also happens with the heat and it's friggin winter here! Even if the car is warm it takes 5-7 minutes for the fans to come on. I told the service people at my dealer and they lied to me and told me "this is part of the program" so that I would leave.

I've done that and I've trained myself to manually disable the eco start/stop every time I turn on the car. It's still a major annoyance that there is the added step of either selecting individual or disabling the stop/start. If the car started with the agility setting last used and didn't default to comfort with eco start/stop it wouldn't' have been the one thing I hate about the car (well hate about the company since all their cars have this "feature").
