I know A.S.S. isn't super popular, but I like it. I don't find it intrusive and I like the bump in MPG. They've had in in Euro longer than we have in the US and it was one of the features I was hoping would come across the atlantic.

Speaking of A.S.S., I would like to know whose idea it was to have it enabled when the engine is started. It's not much of a problem to disable it by pushing that button, but I think it's completely unnecessary. BMW is known for its innovative ideas, but this one is ridiculous. |

PROs
- superb automatic gearbox - very efficient and torquey diesel engines - very comfy - still some "joy" to drive CONs - design too blunt particularly for entry level models - runflats improved but not yet there... - why not increasing so much size, worse for city parking - handling good but lacks somewhat BmW old DNA |

I am thinking of HK's Logic system which supports both 5.1 and 7.1 systems. With all of the speakers employed in the F30 I assume it is capable of 7.1 as controlled by the Logic system, but perhaps not. It may provide 5.1 Dolby as well.

No I didn't either. The "worst" they do are the 16" ones on the 320d EfficientDynamics model.

For all the flack BMW took in the early years, the iDrives I've had in an 07 x5, '11 x3, and from test drives in the F30 (seemingly the same as my wife's x3, till the new nav is out anyway), BMW does a MUCH better job with this than Audi or Mercedes. I expect opinions of this vary based on each person's frame of reference from previous cars, and technical aptitude..... |

Pros:
- Awesome Exhaust Sound at Idle and Hard Acceleration - Love the handling - Stunning "Angel" eyes - Really like how the back trunk opens when your hands are tied up with groceries - A definite head-turner!!! Cons: - not good mileage so far and I'm using premium fuel - car gets dirty very quick (maybe because of the recent rains? LOL) - Brakes are not as strong as they were in my E90
