damn Buttons

I really hate one thing on my S550. the daily ritual of pushing the damn buttons everyday and every freakin time. after starting the car, I have to push 1) ventilated seat button, 2) Sport trans button and than last but not the least the massage button. why the hell wont they keep the preferences in the memory.

these r just the starting rituals..

At least you know what to press. I have read that on the new BMW 7 series, the interface is much much less intuitive.
You should enjoy the best car in the world!

If it is any consolation, driver seat ventilation can be activated automatically using summer opening feature.

These are what I call "first world problems."

I know we S class owners have a tough time dealing with the annoyances facing society at large. It can at times be frustrating, borderline maniacal, but we live in a world of limitations. And while some suffer to a degree we cannot fathom, at least we can say our lives are also not perfect, for we must suffer every day when we needlessly waste energy and milliseconds of time to turn our climate controlled massaging seats on and dial in the transmission to our preferred setting. It can be said that man was meant to suffer, and as you have described, we are certainly taking part in that suffering....

Indeed... By the end of my ride my soul is cleansed and in a state of virtue though such suffering...
