Of course they could have engineered something different, but that's not how it works in the automotive industry. Not enough sales on the 6 to amortize the cost of a unique system. As it is there are plenty of 6 series specific components for which we pay. They had to draw the line somewhere. I am sure there are technical and packaging requirements that also contributed to the decision.

While it's never really bothered me, I kind of am looking forward to this feature on my M5. It also has the hands free closing.
I couldn't find anything on this... :

I'm sorry but I'm not buying the "not enough sales" pitch. I've seen kia's with this feature...

Either way it is still a great car!
