When do we get to test drive the F15s?

I have been asking around all the dealers in the area when I can go test drive one of these and all I hear is that Nov is when they are expecting the first consignment. Is this because the EPA has not gotten around to testing these?

Does anyone here have a better estimate?

My dealer (Sonnen, in San Rafael CA) told me on Monday that their cars are due to arrive next week and will be available for test drives that weekend.

For those of you who are lucky enough to test the new F15 models.

- How the car handele with adaptive M supension (air suspension rear) on 19" vs 20" (no additional handling packages). Is there big difference in comfort?

- How does Active Steering (AS) perform? I know the functions of AS, I have it on my current car and it is pretty well done, wondering if the case on F15?

Thank you and enjoy your test drives. I will have to order prior to testing it myself (Europe cars for test drives are mid November).

I'd be curious to know about the Active Steering compared to the "Variable Sport Steering" on my F30. The VSS I have not only varies the ratio, but tightens up the 'feel' (lowers boost) at higher speeds/in turns. I'm assuming since the F15 has "Active Steering" not "Variable SPORT Steering," this is a ratio adjustment only, with no change to boost.
