I still can't believe I have this car.

It's ALL good.

Seriously, just looking at it in the garage is satisfying. The level of quality inside and out is a step above anything I've ever owned. My expectations have all been met or exceeded. If I had to single out one area for praise, it would be the combination of grip and ride quality. The Mustangs and Camaros I've owned in the past all compromised ride quality for grip, but the BMW is better at both at the same time.

Glad you're enjoying your first BMW so much.

This is my 10th or 11th BMW, and I'm enjoying the heck out of it too. Its that good

I've driven a BMW since 1972 and this one is my favorite.

How do you like the MPE?

Love it. Can't imagine not having it. It's sporty sounding without being obnoxious. No drone at any speed. And the car is so well-insulated that it's perfectly civilized when you shut the windows and go into Comfort mode.

You know what I love most about it? Well, two things actually:

1. Cold start
2. Once warmed up, cruise around in Sport mode at low speeds and every time you pass someone walking on the side of the road, just let off the throttle slightly. It pops like a race car. The real car enthusiasts turn to look every time!

Great review, and I couldn't agree more! BMW really nailed it with this car in my opinion. It's such a great mix of fun, handling, speed, comfort, and technology for a great price and a perfect size! The N55 feels great in this car; it's one of the best feeling and sounding turbo engines I have driven with really nice power delivery. I have been researching tunes for a while, but I don't want to give up any of the driveability and smoothness that the car has stock, and honestly I am not in a huge hurry since it is so quick stock!

Looking forward to your three month review!

Congrats friend!

I'm loving mine too!

Ditto. In my neighborhood, I'm on and off the throttle for traffic, pedestrians and nearby kids. The off throttle burble can make heads swivel.
