Second impressions and a few more pics of my M550i. Especially of the mocha interior. I'll do a full post in the pics threads.

Likes: Active cruise works well even in traffic. I'm still not used to lane keeping and don't trust it thru construction zones. The downside is making sure you remember YOU are in control when they're not active. The performance and handling are excellent and near enough to F10 M5 levels I won't miss it. The ride is very good but the RFTs still thud over recessed man hole covers.

Several dislikes but some are just having to get used to such as them going back to standard turn signals. Or going to a clockwise zoom on the nav. That's more correct but just different...

So far the biggest ergonomic miss is the narrow opening to the door pocket, my wrist barely snakes thru to reach something in the bottom of it. Also the console cup holders are smaller. But there's now the door pocket for bigger water bottles.
