The car is absolutely wonderful. It makes my M Coupe feel like a toy. Keeping it under 4500 rpm is next to impossible but I am following the BMW recommendations. The main drawback sofar has been that the car does draw lookers NOT ALL of the type you would want to pay attention. Last Saturday I was stopped at a light awaiting my turn to go when a group of beer heads yelled ' nice BMer A--H--- ' and proceded to give us the double finger. Not exactly the type that you would want to have ' discover' the car unattended in a parking lot. This car needs watching and should not be left unwatched. By the way, we do live in a very nice community ( so I thought ).
