Third Day Update

[vitaman]

Having had the car for 3 days I can now say:
- Best Bluetooth system ever. In three previous cars I never got through a conversation without someone complaining about voice quality. With this car nobody realizes I am hands free.
- This is 3 cars in one. In basic mode it is solid, competent, quick and practical. Push the M Button and it becomes a better handling version with a slight growly note. Push the Shifter to the left and it simply eats whatever is in its way. Tons O fun.
- Handles great on icy streets. We had a rare ice storm and I was able to confidently drive everywhere. Passed several cars that could not say the same.
-My iphone charges just fine with the BMW supplied cable in spite of a warning that appears on the phone and the info received at the PC.
-The inability to close the tailgate from inside the car is annoying. This "It's for your safety or security." talk got old and stale the 1st time I heard it.
-16 mpg on the 1st tank of gas pleasantly surprised me. I'm sure that will trend down as I apply myself in earnest to the "Break" portion of the breaking in period.
