The ride is considerably comfortable, quiet, and smooth in "comfort" mode. Stiffens up a bit in "sport", but it's supposed to do that. Coming from my F10, the ride is a HUGE improvement, in my opinion.

Congrats , thanks for sharing these pictures ,I like them all
Finally, a black interior that I would like to see from from members .Your configuration is also awesome definitely I think it may sound weird but in some photos per se 3rd and 5th ones the car looks smaller than its dimensions suggests ,I think lens or some sort of photography tweaks give me this illusion Happy Driving

groovy!
this shòws bluestone accurately and as you can see not as blue as some photos and brochures depict it. keep the updates coming over the coming weeks on how you find it. particularly interest as I have a 540i same colour on order. |
