But looking back I realized the options that I used the most in my GL 450 was the GPS system, the keyless entry, and the rear seat entertainment system.

In my 550i, I don't use the satellite radio, self parallel parking and lane departure warning. If only I could delete these options and pay a little bit more for the rear seat entertainment system then I would be a lot happier.
We have the rear seat entertainment in my wife's X5 and, really, once the novelty wore off both of our kids went back to reading, playing their Nintendo DS systems (or trying to kill each other) more than wanting to watch videos. I predict that they'll complain if we don't have it, but they don't use it much when we do.

We don't really take many lengthy trips via car though so maybe that's the difference.....?
