A decent sound system is the highest priority for me.
Having grown up with old Land Rovers I kind of grew accustomed to sparse kit and consider central locking a pleasant addition.
It's all down to circumstance really. Cruise is good to have and I use it whenever I can, but I wouldn't consider it a necessity for my driving (but I can totally understand that it's high up on the lists of others).
Auto lights and wipers are helpful but not terribly important for me.
Two things I wish my car had are bluetooth and a decent in built satnav. My E46 came with bluetooth out of the factory but it is crap, it's too quiet and the connection is unreliable. Fitting a satnav is also something of a faff. For my next car I'd make sure they had both of these things.
Parking sensors are somewhat of a God send, too. Never cared for them before I had them, but now when I jump into my partners car, I am instantly aware I’ve got to be 100% switched on when reversing up to a wall because it’s not equipped with them.
Sunroof is also good for brightening up the interior!
