This is my first BMW and I'm sure I'll notice more things further down the line, but so far;

Con's:
1. Waaaaaay too bouncy in comfort mode with the adaptive M suspension.
2. Creaking/rattling from steering column and rear hatch.
3. Paint finish not great as I can see a lot of orange peel around sideskirt area.
4. Even though I got used to the BMW gear shift, I would still prefer the usual PRND shift.
5. City gas mileage could be better.
6. Too common

Pro's:
1. Interior and exterior styling.
2. Handling in sports mode is very good for a car of this size.
3. Love the MPE sound.
4. The ambient lighting definitely makes the interior feel a lot nicer.
5. Voice recognition is very accurate.
6. Screen resolution is excellent.
7. Coding

Regrets:
Sometimes I question myself whether I still should've went for the Macan GTS I was originally looking into as I don't need a car this big, but then I realize bang for the buck I can't think of anything else with this combination of performance, styling and tech.
