A couple of photos attached. Car is dirty after driving in rain yesterday but doesn't show up too much on these shots. I'll post more photos later.
The car is fantastic. First impressions are only based on driving like a nun so I can't comment on performance. What is immediately clear is that it has grown up, giving comfort and refinement. My 2004 E46 M3 felt like it was in full attack mode on every journey but I think this will give you the option of something more relaxed on the occasions when you slow things down. This will be great if it delivers the thrills as well but I'll have to wait for that one.
The engine is fairly quiet at low revs but is really starting to build fantastic noise around mid revs - just at the point of having to change up.
Impressed with the inside. Not yet crashed playing with the i-drive. Reported seat height issue is def not a problem. Steering wheel is too thick and I just hope that I don't notice it after a while.
More posts when I get a chance.
