Great write-up! I fully agree with your comments re: styling / design (stunning!!!) and engine / power delivery (amazing!). The soundtrack is fantastic: in Sport Plus I hear "gunshots" on downshift and massive burble - if I want to, because in Comfort it becomes a cruiser.
Cup holders: useless, but remember: in Germany nobody drinks or eats in their cars!
Seats: super comfortable.
My only complaint are iDrive 7 shortcomings, i.e. CarPlay, Connected Drive and such.
Otherwise: the best and most fun car I have ever owned (coming from a M235).
