Drives great, except for throttle pick up around 10-15 mph, and overly sensitive brakes. I think I could fix the braking with a higher temp pad.

On a curvy twisty road it drives like a Sports Car. Hides its weight.

just checking there Hoss. i wanted to be sure i wasn't the only one.

-iDrive is a bit slow. The Audis and our previous Lexus are much faster.
-Backup camera... useless.
-Stereo.

Other than that, I love it.

Have averaged 16.3 MPG for 12576 miles. About 50% highway (normally 80+MPH) and 50% around town.

Pretty much 8-10 mpg in the city (35-40 mph on average), not speeding and with light to moderate traffic. Highway (60-75mph) yields about 15/16 mpg.

Up even the slightest hill, and the mpg easily dips to 6/7 mpg. AWFUL!!!

Hmmmm interesting thread.

I guess my only complaint is that i wish someone else could pay for it.

GPS sucks, iDrive is way inferior to touchscreen that comes on a 12k honda civic, rear camera sucks

I don't hate anything about it - I like lots about it. I'm a pretty satisfied owner - I can even reach the window switches - and I'm only 5ft 6.

I've often wondered about the praises for touchscreen.

- do people like all the fingerprints on the screen visible in the light of day?
- do people like to be locked out of the 'idrive' while the vehicle is in motion?
- do people like taking their eyes off the road, so they know exactly where to physically move & point on the screen? Oh wait, they don't have to do this since they're locked out...

Idrive is a bit slow and there are menu options that go too many levels before you get to what you want, but touchscreens aren't perfect either. Are they?

I couldn't agree more. :rofl:
