Almost "GREAT". Whynot?

I've had the car for a year and it does everything quite well. But three areas need to be addressed: 1) I have factory installed NON run-flat tires. At highway speeds, I have to wear ear plugs, the road noise is so intolerable. 2) "Dakota" leather is little more than embossed cardboard, compleately lacking in suppleness. Research indicates it's the cheapest grade of leather. 3) The hard plastic door handle presses uncomfortably against my leg while driving. I had to apply moleskin to the handle as a cushion. Updated after 16K Miles: I’ve recently returned from 18k road trip thru West Texas up to Colorado. Roads are very good. The car performed quite well. Passing slower cars on open road was a dream. Response was quick enough (a few times) to 120mph, with More available if I needed it. Comfort wise, well, the car is not for touring. It’s a sports car. Surprisingly, no aches or fatigue on my 76 y/o body. Update: 4/26/17 Now "retired" (not driving as much. Car Is "fun" for distances <25 Mls. Road noise: excessive. Feel a little cheated on the "leather" interior. (correction for above: road trip was 800miles, Not 18k.....sorry). Update: 10/30/18 Only 17.6K miles, thus far. Interestingly, tires cannot be rotated b/c of different sizes on front and back. Warranty on tires expended after 1/2 mileage. I opted for factory installed non-runflat tires (despite dealer’s insistence). Update: 10/31/19 <20K miles no problems. Orig tires, notice front outside treads wearing more than expected, due to factory installed Michelin “sport” tires. Update 10/30/2020: installed Michelin “a/p” on front tires, expecting them to last longer than “sport” (<21 K miles). BC of COVID, driving a lot less. Odometer <21K. As an aside: I just sold my BMW 1200R motorcycle w >57k miles.

Spent quite a bit of time deciding which small, all-wheel convertible to buy. There aren't too many choices in the premium category. Tried Audi TT and didn't like the ride or visibility. Didn't consider the other Audis because I have a hard time getting by that big Audi nose. Have only had the car for a few days, but like it a lot. The acceleration and handling are great for such a small car. It's certainly no bargain and we spent another $2,000 for a different wheel and tire package because we didn't like the M's all-grey rims. We have now owned the car for over a year and we absolutely love it. My wife uses it as an everyday car and I for the convertible and fun to drive. Would absolutely buy the car again if making the choice. Only caution is that it is very low in the front, which causes it to rub on low treadles and drives.

This vehicle is beyond what I would have imagined. I'm 6'2" and my wife is 5'11"... and we fit fin, even for +4hr journeys with the dog, too. The xdrive makes the car very forgiving, as well as a flat out riot to drive. I traded in an 09 M3 convertible for this vehicle and had high expectations... one might even say hopes and dreams with a fair amount of suspicion and doubt. It was all unfounded... the car has been nothing short of a dream and I couldn'tbe happier. I would recommend it to anyone. Note that once you drop traction control and unleash the beast, it's more agile and athletic than my M3 ever was. I loved my E92 and found her to be more sexy, but this new version has truly urned out to be the best BMW I have ever owned. Not a single service issue either at 40k miles... not too shabby at all.

Superb handling in all driving modes. 4 runflat tires, no spare! (I don't know where a person would buy a BMW with non-runflat tires, ALL models have them) I don't know if I mentioned this, but great handling!! All modes. Very comfortable seats My local dealer, is second to none. Especially where service is involved. Great visibility Great MPG Very tight body with no creaks or rattles.

This is what a sports car should be. Fast and nimble with enough creature comforts to make driving a pleasant experience. The torque is downright scary. One has to watch the speedometer when driving onto a freeway, or before you know it you are doing 80-90+. The suspension dampens those little bumps well, yet allows for good road feel. Cornering is a delight.
