I posted extensive comments in an earlier thread.

Since then mileage has improved a bit (14.1 MPG, 60/40 urban/highway.)

Back-up camera & brake dust still suck.

On the quality side. all was fine for 10 days or so. Then.....

Saturday "EDC Malfunction" appeared on the iDrive (Electronic Damping Control)

Joined yesterday by "Level Control System Malfunction."

And today by "Dynamic Damping Control Malfunction" and the vehicle now rides like a brick (or a 'real' truck!).

Called BMW service again & got service moved from next Thursday to this Friday.

I hope I haven't landed with one of those 'bad builds' 'cause I really like driving this thing!
