You have got to be kidding me: an iDrive display of the current power and torque?! Can you imagine showing that off on a date?

I do eagerly await the pictures of the touring version- traditionally the touring has looked better to my eyes.

Sad thing is, I don't think I'd ever buy any of the newer BMWs. They're extraordinarily competent and well-engineered, but somehow the fizz and excitement has been lost and I'm not talking about speed or horsepower.
