All I can say is :))))))))))). The car is awesome. The biggest negative is having to stay under 4500Rpms. I have to admit it got there so quickly, I went over a few times.
The car feels like BMW took a block of aluminum and just molded it. It is solid, fun.. you name it. I skipped dinner and just drove and drove. I put 198 miles on the car today. Felt like I had driven 50.
Everyone in traffic wants to compliment you about the car so frequently, I had to just keep the stereo down. As Z8 Bob said, this is the best fun you can have with your clothes on.
Got up to 120mph for some lengthy stretches.. the car felt so stable..even my wife was comfortable.. and she is not a car buff. I like everything about the car. My phone, windscreen etc. came with the car. I had the dealer install a k-40 stealth with laser diffuser inside the grill. It was done so well it looks like a factory job. The diodes are placed inside the entertainment console. For all I care they can take all the time they want delivering the hardtop. This car is for open top driving.
I know some members complained about the wind, I loved it and today was especially windy in central texas. I also found the stereo to be fine for me. Lots of Bass, and plenty of power.
Will post pics later.. too busy driving..must eat.
