Detailed review: |
Amazing ride. Acceleration is outstanding from the 4.4 V8. Responds immediately with a nice kick of power. Steering is true BMW- meaning precise, and no play in the wheel. I heard negative comments about harshness of 'sport package' suspension, but both my wife and I both love the firm handling and lack of bouncing motion. Interior is the best- seats are wonderful and finishes are top notch. Sport package thick steering wheel is a pleasure to hold. Panoramic moonroof is great. Brakes, again, are amazing. Navigation system not as good as Lexus or other Japanese manufacturers, but definitely acceptable and indispensible. |
