Looks terrific in the dark colours. If I had the $$ and had to pick one car, I would probably still go for a 911 or some other sporty 2+2 but it is exiting to see what BMW have been bringing out in the i-series. Now if I had unlimited $$ this would probably be in my garage.

I figured that BMW's acceleration estimates were conservative and in the new Car and Driver they did 0-60 in 3.6 which is pretty decent. Haven't read the actual article yet though.

Seems like kind of weedy engineering for a car in this class.

Very...beta version.

Seems like something you might expect on a pre-VWAG era Lambo.
