I am still trying to figure out all the gizmos but WOW what a car. Yesterday I hit a button on the steering wheel and the car started driving itself. I let it drive for 4-5 miles but it gets a little freaky in the corners hoping it is going to turn but it always keeps it right between the lines. I have never owned a 500+hp car and it will pin you to the seat when you punch it! It has a G force meter on the dash which should tell you something.
Anyway I am looking forward to talking to others so I can learn more about my wife's new grocery getter.

Out of interest, what's your daily drive?
My wife recently bought an i3, and I really love driving it for shorter journeys, with my X6 M50d (F16) doing the regular long-haul across Europe. When I'm in the UK, I'm always trying to get behind the i3— it's a far better choice on our congested roads, and i love the 0-40mph acceleration. But, I suspect that that soon to be delivered M850i, replacing the X6 is going to change all that. Which car will be our favourite for UK roads. Can't wait to see.
