Wow thanks for the post with all these details!
Interesting about 2T4 LSD. That was a surprise.

Thanks for sharing! Surprised about the USB-C port- not complaining at all just surprised.
Everything needs to go USB-C!

Can you help a noob understand? Is SOP = start of production?
Also could we in Canada expect roughly the same release date as in the US? Also where are the US/Canada cars built? |

Might be weird to say, but to be honest it's a hard decision. I have a 6 speed manual 2.0 and it's really fun, in some ways the Honda actually seems to have more pep at lower range (I test drove a 19 m550i last week), but I think I'm just feeling the difference between having full control over the gears vs an automatic. It also has exactly the controls you need in the right places, simple intuitive layout with no unneeded complexity, no need to navigate through menus for things (things that should just be buttons or knobs, are) carplay which works great, very responsive touch pad for most other functions (no wheel or other pointless gimmicks), cool wheels, and interior is very nice (feels much more upmarket than it actually is). You basically can't get a standard in sedans at that size anymore, and of those you can (accord and mazda6) they are usually not stocked. It also looks nice, has the largest backseat of any midsize (good for carseats and kids when you don't like SUV's), handles shockingly well for a family sedan, and will of course be super reliable as a Honda. The downsides are it doesn't have BMW power and luxury, no all wheel drive, you pay for servicing from day 1, no leather (if you want leather you can't have a manual), and my wife says clutching bothers her knee lol. |

Unfortunately with the iDrive 7.0, one will not be able to code anymore. Those features were removed from iDrive 7.0, as there are now with the X5.

And, you've got tried and true. mature technology and an engine they've been slowly improving for a few years now. 2020 starts with ID7 and a new N63 edition. Likely means early adopters will spend a bit more time visiting their service department. Just ask anyone with an iDrive7 car how thrilled they are with it.
