Also the Carplay refused to stay connected. Aside from that, it just felt cheap and tinny. I know, it's not a "real BMW" being FWD-biased, but I have had these before and they just don't feel right.

Exchanged it for a new Chrysler 300.
I hear ya! I feel like the trade off for tech versus a solid build and quality interior finishes in todays cars is a bad deal for the consumer.

I had a friend shut the door of our X5 the other day and he commented on how solid the car was. Then he text me later and asked me to keep an eye out for an e53 for himself!

Nice choice on the 300. I really like the look and muscle of many of the Mopar lineup!
