I wouldn't doubt if the next generation M5 has a front camera. The new X5M and X6M both have front cameras. Let's see if the new 7-Series will have a front camera, I'm sure it will though. The only thing is the design and integration of the camera on the front bumper can be a hard thing to get right and still look good or aesthetically pleasing to enthusiasts.

Better traction
Ability to have more presets on the stereo
Front camera
faster throttle response/downshift when kick-down has been hit (in comfort mode)
Improved interface for music aps and bluetooth connectivity
electric side screens
stronger vented seats
thinner front seats (better leg room for rear)
opposite curved passenger dash/glove box (easier entry ans more space for front passenger)
Sunglass holder
Rattle Free cupholder
neutral from paddle shifters
entry-assist (seat moves back, steering wheel moves up) - I'mnot that fat but have snagged the leather a few times now...
rear brake caliper housing design (cosmetic but looks cheep)
remove the unusable phone cradle and open space for storage
Lockable glove box (I carry a gun - need to be able to lock it up if I keep it in the car)
tighter turning radius (I cam from sports cars - this is a super long car)

Or, since you own an uber performance luxury car, you can actually use the navigation system and not worry whether you're upside down. This is coming from a guy who made his living using a compass to navigate, way back when. If I had GPS then, I would have used it.
It's nice and very useful when you're caught up in a traffic jam or accident, be it on the freeway or on the streets, and you impromptu your way around it.

I don't use the nav on the M.

My biggest grip is BMW has moved the Volume control from the left to the right side of the steering wheel.

I've got a 6 speed and moving controls away from the left hand renders the volume control useless to me.

Anybody else think of something that's not currently available on our platform??

I remember the previous-gen M5 (with NA V10 engine) had up to 6 driving modes.

I guess BMW reduced it since too many drivers suffered from painful necks when using the S6 drive mode xD

Gotta be the sound. I had an F10 M5 as a loaner when my E60 M5 got vandalised and I just missed the sound of the screaming V10. It'll be cool to see what's on the G30 M5 though

Agree! Nothing makes me more cross when you have had a car for a while and then they bring out a "competition package" version..that's bull..

I would like the colored temp gauge/rev limit on the tach that moves up as the engine warms up like I had on my E92 M3.

Also make the damn DCT start in first gear ALL the time in auto instead of second sometimes.

For the other smaller things. Yeah maybe doesn't make any sense that the M5 doesn't get a digital compass in the rear view like a 328i does. Other things like ceramics control knobs would've been nice though. Others wished for AWD or more horsepower.

There's really nothing more that I wished a 2015 M5 could have. The 30 Year M5 is pretty much the best car on the planet right now.

New technology like more carbon fiber isn't quite ready for a true Sports Sedan yet. It's getting there though, the new 2016 CTS-V has an optional carbon fiber hood for example.

But if I'm being truly truly honest the only thing I could have wished for, for the F10 M5 was a high revving naturally aspirated V12 engine like the one used in the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. 725hp? Yeah I'd take that over 502 low end torque. I think an exotic V12 would have increased the M5's popularity 10 fold if one had been used, but you know stupid CAFE and all.
As usual you have good points
I agree for the car has been developed in 2009-2011 and started production in 2011 she has the most up to date technologies at 100k price point.
On the other hand, adding more feature/technology would increase the price and weight while the heavy weight of M5 is already on question.

In addition the current body is not designed for a V12 725 HP with a lot more weight (turning the car to even heavier and more front bias car) and power.

BUT I wish M5 was:

1. 4-5 inches shorter (length)
2. 300-400 lb lighter
3. Slightly rear weight bias configuration such as 46/54 (like front mounted engine Ferrari F12) instead of 52/48 with more dynamic differential to improve the traction.
4. CF roof like other M cars.

I would've loved to have the CF roof, as well. Guess it might just show up in the upcoming G incarnation. Wonder what're the weight savings between the current M6 CF roof vs the M5's?

CF roof weight saving (by itself) is about 40lb; however it's not just about weight saving... CF roof lowers the center of gravity and improves the handling too.

Thanks and yes, definitely true. It also looks so much nicer (subjective opinion).

DCT

I would like a DCT that in default mode and top gear doesn't make the car feel like a 1998 520i with bad rings. Whoever programmed the DCT's auto downshift behaviour doesn't understand how BMWs are supposed to feel, let alone M cars.
I know I can drive in sequential or dial in a different response (and drive around in a gear higher than necessary). I just hate that numb throttle once the car gets into top gear when in comfort.

To know what I'm taking about, take an M135i in comfort, give it just a whiff of gas and you're off down the road in a series of smooth rapid fire shifts. The M5 just sits there doing 1200rpm until you give it a bootful of throttle.
There's no reason it should be inferior to a ZF 8speed, but it is.....significantly

CF roof would be awesome but the low key nice part about not having that option now is to be able to enjoy the sunroof (which I love) and not feel bad everytime I see another M5 with a CF roof lol.
