As far as reliability is concerned - ABS has been around for years and years on BMs. Doesn't seem to have given too many problems (not to be confused with servo brakes). ESA has been pretty good on the existing range as far as I can tell and is rebuildable at a reasonable cost. Canbus - again, as far as I can tell, few problems reported. Most of the reliability issues don't seem to be connected to high tech stuff (seals, fuel pump, final drive).
ESA - do you need it? No. Would I be without it? No. Great to adjust the suspension on the fly to suit mood and/or road conditions.
TPC - yep would like that. Checking tyre pressures when its cold and wet is a real bore, picking up slow punctures earlier would be useful and I've never found a guage which doesn't let a bit of pressure out as you try and get the damned thing on.
ABS - I'd have it but endless threads around on the pros and cons.
ASC - I don't know enough about it.
OBC - I probably wouldn't bother again. Temp guage, as someone said, is addictive but plenty of cheap aftermarket ones around. Oil checker is useful. Wouldn't miss any of the rest of the functions.
