Loving it so far. It's huge compared to my 2011 E90 335i, but very smooth both in ride and power delivery. Hoping the commute miles on this will keep my E90 around for a while longer!
After a week of driving it, I went through the configurator and honestly I'd make no changes. I was really torn on sport seats vs. multicontour- loved the idea of the latter but I'm so used to sport seats and at a UDE event last year I just felt a lack of lateral support for my body type. That said, as many have pointed out, the G30 sport seats have bizarrely tight thigh bolsters- I'm 5'9" 140lb and felt the squeeze at first, though somehow after a couple days I stopped noticing it and am now super comfy. Those bigger will want multicontour, but really the competition's premium seats all have better lateral support so come on BMW!

Congratulations, and enjoy!
Is that the open pored trunk wood trim?
