To be honest, I think the headroom is not big as I expected. I even felt the headroom in the GC is smaller than my S5. Maybe I should treat this car as a 'real' coupe and readjust my seat position.

BTW, Get the LED pack if you really thinking about getting one! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! It worth $1900 totally!

frankly speaking it's not a big problem for me cause when you will open harman kardon you don't hear anything else, but without music and in a long road, i don't know how it may effect.

according to my family, the back seats are felling little bumpy and shaky, when driving. i will test it myself soon.

i didn't try to put three people to back seat yet, but i guess it will not be quite easy.

except these the car is simply great in any way.

here are some surprises;

i didn't order enhanced bluetooth and folding rear seats even i wanted to have, cause of the high costs. i can not understand why but now i have both of these included in the car, it's a luck. now i can play music thru bluetooth and control it from the steering wheel.

i was thinking that the cup holder cover is not included anymore, therefore i have ordered seperately from ebay, but when i got the delivery this one was included too, i can't understand why.
I know that only the North American Spec cars are less the cup holder cover, the rest still have it. They have added free Bluetooth to the cars, at least the Non-us types. I have no Idea about the seats? I had to pay extra for that, you might have gotten very lucky. Do all 3 seats in the back fold?

How have you adjusted, from the Room in the 3GT to the 4? How does the 4 compare to the 3GT?

i had bluetooth handsfree option on my previous 320d GT and 118i, however this was not help you to play music thru bluetooth. For playing music via bluetooth, you have to buy enhanced bluetooth. Now with this car, I don't have this option but it plays music, that's interesting.

3GT was like a truck from outside, back seats like bigger than 7 series, so comfortable.

4GC is like a bullet, really sporty and aggressive, but back seat comfort is not quite satisfactory.

I think the head room in front is generous. My seating position is maybe 1-2 inches lower than a standard sedan but nowhere like a Porsche Cayman. I still have my old Subaru Impreza and sitting in that feels like sitting in a tractor. It's more cramped inside versus the Gran Coupe.

The 40-20-40 fold down rear seats are awesome.Streaming music via bluetooth is awesome; and I don't mind the lack of the tray, I put my mobile phone in the cup holder instead of the center console.

Overall I love this car. The road noise is acceptable, obviously far better than the Subaru.

This is my first true luxury vehicle.

Has anyone complimented your car so far? I've seen a few people do double takes at the car while driving, but no one said anything aside the BMW salespeople on pick up day lol. But I like how the GC is stealthy and doesn't attract too much attention. That would be annoying long term.

Well, our GC attracts a LOT of attention, I think partly the reason is that F3x's are not that common here

I'm surprised I put prepared food in here as early as day 4.

Prepped a casserole dish, wrapped it in tin foil plus cling wrap and then covered with plastic Tupperware cover, then put a blanket around it, then inside a cardboard box for Costco shopping. Used the net to make sure it doesn't toss around while on the way a friends place lol. I made sure the odor didn't make it into the car.

Yeah I enhanced Bluetooth is included now, but 3split seats should be an option, at least I paid for them. Lol

You lucked out I think.

Ok guess if you don't have that many passengers it should be alright!

Nice congrats. What do you use to protect it from the salt water? I noticed some of the older cars there have salt stains being so close to the Pacific Ocean water all the time. I haven't been to Honolulu in a long time.
Bet you are excited.

Actually it isn't. Enhanced bluetooth still adds something, but audio via bluetooth (or USB cable) now comes as standard indeed in all MY2015 cars, see my findings here

http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...9&postcount=90

Unfortunately I've noticed that 2 things are lost in the standard set-up in respect to pre MY2015 models (I compared with an identical F32, bought the same week as mine F36):
- only 1 phone usable at the same time (previously it was 2 for incoming calls)
- the graphic with the historical of the consumption is not available anymore

Nice looking GC... MG & CBM are the best looking colors IMO.
