Thanks!
It is my first BMW (wife has one but I never had one) and after 3 days I am loving it.

A few quick positive reflections:
  • I am obviously breaking it in so I have not pushed it, but simply love the power curve that this thing has with the mild hybrid system.
  • I thought that I would be a bit frustrated with the lack of buttons etc., but it actually has not been bad.
  • When I test drove the various models, I somehow didn’t pick on the fact that this one actually had a physical ASS button next to the shifter. Such a relief now that I noticed because I did expect to be annoyed about ASS. Now, it does not bother me anymore.
  • The B&W system is way better than I thought, especially once you have gone in and set up the equalizer right.

The only thing that I don’t love so far is that key fobs and so freaking big. Maybe I am old school but I don’t like the digital key thing.

New here also. Beautiful and we’re considering the same color and similar options.

Been 10 days now and I so far I love the car (it was getting PFF installed for 5 of them). It is the first BMW that I have had and the thing that I like the most is how it drives. The whole “ultimate driving machine” is a good slogan for BMW, because that is really true.

Again, I really thought that I would not enjoy the tech overload that the LCI has, but to my surprise I don’t mind it.

The B&W sound system is amazing- once I read MystroX5’s instructions about how you should set it up, it is way better than I could have imagined. Audi had B&O and it was great, but this is miles better.

The one thing that I need to figure out/deal with is the amount of break dust that it generates. It is unreal and it annoys me. I am thinking that I may need to change break pads because it is unbearable…

You can try ceramic pads, a bit less bite but 0 dust.
