Initial observations after a couple of days of reading and driving:
- After driving an E36 four-banger for so long, the power from the six is remarkable.
- The grip and handling is considerably better than my E36.
- The run flats don't ride nearly as bad as some have said.
- Love the sport seats... The bolstering is pretty much perfect.
- Did I mention the power from the six was remarkable?
- The rear seat headrests obscured my rear vision, so I removed them.
- The armrest seems to interfere a bit with my shifting... Never ever having one, I just probably need to get used to it being there.
- Fog lights do not maintain their ON setting when the headlights are turned OFF: they must be switched on each time the headlights are turned on... A nuisance, IMO.
- Radio can be turned on even though the key/remote is not plugged in... It stays on for about 20 minutes.
- No temperature gauge.
- No oil dipstick.
- Holding the UNLOCK button continuously unlocks the door(s) and opens the windows, but holding the LOCK button continuously does NOT close the windows... Odd.
- The passenger side seat remembers its position when you tilt it forward to gain access to the back seat, but the driver's side does not... Odd.
- Various whirring and ka-chunking sounds immediately after the car is unlocked/locked and doors are opened/closed... I guess it's normal...?
