You mean massive body roll, a steering system that is not connected to the front wheels, and the engine note played through the speaker system?!?!?!?!

Incredible. BMW hit a home run with that interior.

Thanks everyone!

DDS2015 - 245/35 R20 95Y Front, 275/30 R20 97Y Rear

Wolf - it's definitely bigger than my 335, not as brutal or crude feeling as my 2005 E55. There is a noticeable difference between comfort/normal/sport. I've actually driven a lot in comfort (please don't throw tomatoes) because the roads where I live are s**t. I save sport for the freeway.

Even resisting the urge to floor it (break-in and all that), there is plenty of power. My wife and I just made a Costco run with the top down (couldn't do that with the e93) and you can't even feel it shift. On the freeway, kick it into sport and it immediately drops down from 8 to 7th and you can feel the suspension stiffen up. The couple of times I've taken a clover leaf at speed, I've been impressed at how flat it curves with the ARS. I keep running up on someone poking along on the curve, so I haven't had a chance to see what it can really do.

Even though BMW has done an impressive job of hiding the mass, it's still a GT. But hey, that's what I wanted. I have a 30 mile commute each way and I'm wearing a smile the whole time.

I love the sound of the V8. You just can't get that rumble from a 6.

So far I haven't found any flaws. And it's getting a lot of attention in the physicians' lot which is always cool.

Congrats on your beautiful new car. Great interior, too.

I have to wait till I'm older for my coupe..."late summer", earliest!

You mean you don't have the LED angel eyes that we've been seeing on all the new bimmers coming out?

I don't have the LED headlights. I have the xenons.

Here's a nice review with pictures to show the difference.

Congrats! This car looks good in any color!
Headligts in LED are only availible for the F13 coupé btw, if not mentioned earlier here. I guess the F12 will get it soon, just like the B&O sound system.

What a wonderful world

Spotted this same package in Ellicott City, MD. Looks better in person. I was on the scooter so no chance to spank it.
