I just hope that the door handles aren't in any shape, form or fashion connected to an electric power supply. In all fairness, I don't need an electric trunklid pull-down either, but neither would cause me to stop waiting and buy a 330e to avoid the wait.
I like the looks of the "hockey-stick" style handle, and it seems to be just right. I always open the left door of my car with my left hand and the right door with my right hand. It allows more room to clear my body when opening.
Now, if I had an early 60's Lincoln Continental and was getting in using the back door, I would do it exactly opposite for the same reason.
