got one for a loaner today while my 335is was in the shop for an oil change...thought it would be a great car for a family car. I drove around all day, got 30mpg solid...fun on on ramps. Interesting driving around parking lots like an electric golf cart. OP is right about having to feather the throttle to keep the engine from coming alive. Interesting that in sport mode the engine won't shut down, but in drive, it will shut down on you throughout the day and it's nearly impossible to notice.
loved it. Would I trade in? no. Would I buy new when I have a family? yes.
