Not for long term - electronic failures
I would not keep this car for a long time. Every feature is tied into the infotainment system including car functions. Transmission mapping, seat position, seat heat, climate controls, etc. The car has been in the shop 3 times already in as many months. The cruise control stopped working when the perimeter sensor failed. The sound went out 5 or 6 times whenever the Sirius customer agreement came up. This car will be a nightmare when the electronics start failing as it ages. I am amused when my 2007 Kia Sedona mule with 250000km drops off the 3000km BMW for repair (and the new 2014 A4 when the transmission failed, and the 2015 C300 when the electric steering failed). The best part about the car is it eats up bumps. Our roads were bad and have gotten much worse after Covid. The car is great. I notice there is a lot of exterior noise coming through the door windows and seals.

90% Great, 10% Room for Improvement
This robust M40i has the engineering guts to handle the performance expectations of my enthusiastic needs. The quality of the design and most of the feature attributes are excellent. These include many automated functions and enhanced safety features. The lack of vented seats coming standard in the premium package, and no electronic steering wheel adjustments (with an easy out function) are inexcusable gaps at this price point in a luxury SUV. The $500 wireless charging, which I did not get, is overpriced and I was able to buy the parts to accomplish the same result for $60 from Amazon, and it fits right where the factory option is located. The net is a nearly perfect luxury performance SUV. Must have items for me included the premium package, remote start, shadowline, blue exterior, congac interior, and 21" wheels. Nice to have was the parking assist. The "wish I had" items include a carbon fiber dash and vented seats (I live in Texas, so why dealers don't order their vehicles with this upgrade is beyond me).

Love it!
Love the quiet interior and smooth ride. It feels solidly built. The price was right in line as other less luxurious cars that we looked at.
