The car handles and feels incredible. This is my wife's car, but I get to drive it on occasion. Hard to go back to my car. I do not understand the car press's reaction to the styling. It's aggressive, modern, yet clearly BMW. IDrive is a pain, but as others have pointed out, once things are set, you really don't use it much. Clearly the best car I have ever driven. I had to have the car returned once - the BMW assist didn't work. Still waiting...BMW needs to be careful - the 7 series and MB's had a lots of clitches

I wanted the 525i but decided to upgrade - I am glad I did - this car is unbelievable - you must get the premium package or the interior will look very plain - the stereo sound is great - test drive one and see how many looks you get at a red light.

I have a 545i with SMG and I wake up every morning wanting to get in the car. Acceleration, braking, suspension, huge balls!!!!! I can't wait for the M5

You could blindfold me & I could tell you its a BMW - from the support of the seats, the firm and responsive drive plus even the sport sound of the muffler.
