only been able to drive a few miles so far but seems very quiet and handles similar to what i remember test drives of the 530i being like. just feels like an incredibly tight, smooth machine.
also will know more after the break-in period is up - i was told 1300 miles (2000km). only 1276 miles to go...

congratulations with your new car.

If BMW are ever considering building an 545iX Touring I sure will be their first customer.

But my only problem with the "current" E60-61 iX edition is that it can not be lowered (as factory option ). A pity though as Audi are very well capable of doing that exercise
