It drives awesome; not as good as the Panamera in the steering department but drives nearly as good and sounds great without being obnoxious. Hides the weight well.

The tech is ahead of Porsche. I still cannot get over the fact the HUD is some magical option in the Porsche line up.

You have been beating this drum since last year; why don't you just go test drive the two cars?
Agreed. BMW has definitely been going in a different direction with their cars as of late. I was at a poker game last week and the guy I was sitting next to was talking about his Ferrari and 911 history. I told him I've been a long time BMW guy, but was on a wait list for a 911. I eventually said something along the lines of part of the thing pushing me to Porsche is that BMW is making ugly cars these days. He said, "ok, now that you said that first, yes they are." Apparently he didn't want to offend my BMWness. But then I sort of vindicated myself saying I had an M8 which he agreed didn't fit with the looks of the rest of the current line up. Obviously subjective, but the 8 is one of their last vestiges of attractive cars these days.
