I haven't been checking in here much. I really like the car overall. A few nagging things. The dvd player doesn't always detect the nav dvd and gets hung up, so you have to ejct the dvd and start over. The problem is intermittant, which is my least favorite kind because when you take it in to get it looked at, it won't screw up then. The subwoofers are a little lame on heavy bass songs. I think what BMW calls a subwoofer and what I call one may be two different things.

When taking off from a standstill, the acceleration seems a little strange off the mark. It doesn't seem like the gearing, but more like an on/off switch in the electronics instead of a smooth motion that is actually connected to what your foot is doing. This may be something that can be adjusted.

Everything else is great. I like the room in the back and in the trunk. It's got nice handling that doesn't make you feel like you are driving a pig. It's got nice acceleration on the highway to help get around PITA drivers. I don't like roof mounted bike/kayak racks, so I'm still trying to make a decision about what I want to do there.

I'm getting my radar detector hardwired in next week. If it will ever stop raining I will post some pics.
