The ugly tooth fang 7seven series is what has those items.
The M5 has always been a luxury car - the ultimate 5. Many of those options are just not available on a 5 anymore, which cheapens it.

Full leather and soft close doors made it stand out and helped justify its price. More and more the only thing distinctive about a 5 is the styling, and even that is getting less special.
