Review

I am at the end of my 39 mo lease (bought 2006 model on 10/30/05), love the car from day one. Perfectly comfortable inside and outside. Excellent nav system, very useful rear view camera (day or night), especially for parking in tight places, plenty of power. Overall 9/10, only because I know, there is better cars out there which I have not tried yet.

Favorite Features

Beautiful interior, good power, nav, satellite radio, reliable technology (computer and mechanical)

Suggested Improvements

Car phone performance very mediocre, voice recognition system poor, gas/mileage 15-19/g average 16.8 I don't know what they mixing with premium gasoline now($4.39/g), but before I've lasted close to 300ml with full tank, now not even 250ml. And finally nav need to operate with live traffic report.

Review

After thoroughly reviewing several cars from BMW (3 and 5 series), Jaguar (XF), Mercedes (C class), Lexus (IS F), I settled upon the M45 sport, almost fully loaded (lacks mobile DVD system). Some of these cars are like comparing apples to oranges but, the M45 above all others is best in overall value to performance – it has the best of all worlds. It offers great performance, plenty of space, excellent design and the best technology features of anyone. While all the other cars were always sorely lacking in some features (for example, the IS F lacks space, the Jag lags in technology, etc.), the M45 simply glimmers best in everything overall, and at a respectable price comparatively.

Favorite Features

Technologies such as a built in hard drive, compact flash and the best interface and visual navigation system are what clearly help separate the M45 apart. The interior design is excellent and build quality is superior.

Suggested Improvements

As always for a big engine, gas mileage could be better. Paddle shifters would be a nice touch. Auto-lock-doors-at-speed would be nice too. Rear light designs could be a bit more aggressively designed. Bose system could have a bit more bass.

Review

I have the Sport model. Exciting car to drive with all the extras that a driver could desire. I don't find the control center confusing, but rather find it loaded with useful features. I push the car hard on winding roads and I find it very responsive and easy to handle. (It compares favorable to BMWs I owned in the past.) The gas mileage is not good, but that is the only disappointment (especially when premium hit $4.00 in Santa Barbara.) All together, I highly reccomend this reasonable priced luxury sport sedan.

Favorite Features

Handling/performance; Blue Tooth; all control/data features. Comfortable ride.

Suggested Improvements

Got to be a way to improve gas mileage without sacrificing performance.

Review

I bought this after testing the 550i. outstanding performance. Handles like a sports car but rides like one (19"wheels). Interior is quiet and serene at high speeds. I find myself regularly doing 100-120mph without even feeling it. Exhaust note is sweet. The best low beam headlights in any car I've driven (the road is evenly carpeted with bright white light) but strangely very lousy high beams. Leg room in the front and back is class leading

Favorite Features

air conditioned seats. adaptive lights. wood finish.

Suggested Improvements

High beams need significant improvement. Fuel consumption is worst than my 04 Land Cruiser
