The combo of useable space, high-end performance and finish of the interior (tech and materials) - I couldn't be happier. The full driving assist on freeways below 40 MPH works extremely well and at just over 2000 miles of use, I have 100% confidence in using it hands (and feet) free. Makes the commute that much nicer and the proposition of paying for / owning this vehicle that much more meaningful in the day to day. Can't over state enough how much this is a car of a few personalities. in default drive mode with soft suspension and smooth shifting it can gobble miles. there are a few ways to set the car up through the setting between the softest and most daring and they are a combo of smooth but sporty shifting, flatter handling and more immediate braking. The cherry on top is having the ability to turn it to full rear wheel drive and play with the traction control being turned from 10 down to 0 depending on how much you want to learn to drift the car. This thing has so many smart systems working to help you enjoy all the performance the car has to offer as you learn to use it. When you're ready turn it all off and use that sensitive throttle control to make the thing dance and SING! On that note, I know many people associate the sound of their vehicle to the perception of performance. I think BMW knocked it out of the park with your options for the "sound" this car makes. Sure some of it is piped in, but it matches the revs and the pipes are still making glorious sounds as well. If you are in sports plus engine mode with the valves open, I dare you not to get a silly smirk on your face!

The infotainment is almost perfect, but has some quirks when compared to the rest of the market that take some re-working of my brain. The assisted driving (above 40 MPH) has some issues with being on concrete freeways in sun saturated areas (looses tracking of the lines or something) and will disable it self after making some corrective actions. The same is said about country road driving. Thankfully, you can disable the assist and just have radar-based cruise. It is hard to fault this vehicle because it does so many things right and is really easy to live with. The few things that aren't as polished as 90% of the rest of the vehicle stick out a little, but as with anything the user can adapt and the over all story is a positive and enjoyable one.

A very smooth ride but at the touch of a switch it turns into a beast.

Nothing is wrong with the car

Very smooth engine and transmission. Especially enjoy how well the car cruises in comfort. Voice control is an important and enhanced safety feature.

Seats are rather firm and the door locks can be fussy if you do not pull the handle to open the car quickly enough. It is a good security feature, but sometimes a hassle in the real world when your hands are full.
