A few observations:
- Styling is definitely an improvement from the F10. While this car is still large (larger?) it hides the mass better than the F10 which always just looked bloated to me.
- I know the G30 is on a raised platform but even taking that into account it looks absolutely enormous compared to the E12.
- I think BMW is very misguided with that damn key they're trying to push. Everything that key controls could be done by a smartphone app, then you would only need one device instead of two. For women with purses it might not be a big deal, but it's rather inconvenient for those without a purse.
- When the shut the front doors you could hear a bit of rattling. All that weight for safety equipment and they can't make a nice 'thunk'?
- If all non-US markets use liters and kilometers, why do they use the MPG metric instead of km per L?
- It it bad that I'd rather have that E12?
