Finally picked up the new ride Tuesday at lunchtime. Dealer is walking distance from my job so you can imagine the torture. I took some quick pics today after I re cleaned it to my standards
Few Key things
- Power delivery is not lacking unless you are spoiled by 400+hp. This will keep or out pace many vehicles on the road.
- Tranny is very smooth.
- Handling is very good for a SUV, little heavy compared to my old 335i coupe, but hey that would be expected
- 20' Rims, wide tires and flare extensions gives it a beefy presence.
- Top view Camera is very usefull. Had to squeeze pass an idiot at the bank drive thru, Worked like a charm. I can see this as a must in NYC. Morning Garbage trucks are a pain. You also never have to wonder if you are over the line in a parking spot.
- Premium Stereo is WOW. Playing music sounds very good (after tweaking). Now playing movies is "HOLY COW" good. Played a DVD movie on the NAV screen, and it was like listening to a $100,000 home theater. Just on point.
- I love the color combo. PG seems to have a mind of its own. Sometimes it looks green, sometimes blue but I am not complaining. Cinnamon Brown has a perfect tint of red and just looks good all around with the anthracite liner.
Overall I am Very Happy and well worth the wait.
