Here is just some of the things it has;

Heated/Cooled front seats
Heated rear seats
Memory seating x 2
Moonroof
Full leather
Automatic wipers/lights
Power seats
Keyless entry
UVO entertainment system
Rearview camera
Heated mirrors
Remote start
Cruise control

The BMW only had 3 of those things on it, for $17k less no doubt! Defo one of the smarter choices I've made car wise. The gas consumption on it is great as well, especially highway. Only thing I did to it was get tinted windows to make it look better.
One thing about Kia I can't figure out - my '04 Sedona has auto rain-sensing wipers as a standard feature...yet my wife's 2012 Kia Forte EX doesn't have them (they weren't even available as an optional upgrade).

Your evaluation of the Optima is exactly what I thought after test driving an EX. Damn nice car - especially in its price class. I love the European styling and the side vent grills are a great accent.
