Bump. 15,000 miles, computer called for a first service a little after 11,000 miles. Still averaging in the 24mpg range in 50/50 mixed driving, impressive for what it is. Best tank so far was 27.5.

No complaints that aren't applicable to all of the F3x cars (generally, IMO, not put together as well as our E90's were, I have yet drive an F30 without a rattle of some kind). The black trim below the windows should be metal not rubberized plastic, it has to be conditioned often to keep from going brown and looking crappy, and the front rubber windshield trim thingies are peeling up at the trailing edges. Every time I see a shadowline-equipped F30 in the wild it has the same problems. Come on BMW. if you don't turn this around this may be our last new one.

But if you're looking for new cars you should probably buy one if you have one or two kids instead of whatever it is you're thinking of buying. Unless it's an RS7 or an E63 wagon, I guess those would be ok.
