Here are some new pictures.

It's a petty that the moment I took my camera, the clouds came up ...

Thanks, I think now it's time for first evaluation.

I have it now for almost 3 weeks, and my actual work is not so far, I did till now 1.800 km (1.125 miles).
After 2.000 km I will graduately go higher in revs, but till then I won't drive too fast.

But even remaining under 3.500 the car is amazing fast.

And the most amazing thing is the comfort, though I have 18" with Run Flats and xDrive.

The only (little) negative point is the capacity of the fuel tank, this could be a little bigger, so that a full ride could be at least 800 km.

Finally I have to say that with this car, even after a long driving, I'll make a ride just for fun. This didn't happen since I had a sportscar.
My previous car where good, but fun of driving was not the same (Audi A6 2.5TDi Quattro, Chevrolet Trailblazer 4.2, Chevrolet Tahoe 5.3 V8)

+ Comfort Seats are just great !!!!
+ The M Stearing Wheel if fun.
+ Logic7 sounds great.
+ Engine is a real jewel
+ Consumption is good (considering of the actual 235 hp)
+ Navigation is complete
+ All Round Quality very good

- Steptronic manual shifting is too slow
- Tank Fuel Capacity

Great looking ride. Glad to hear you're enjoying it all.

You say you need to do 200km more before you can really open her up. Depending on where you are in Belgium, its probably around 200km to Germany... and the de-restricted Autobahns!! So, what are your plans for this weekend...

Enjoy!

It's 2.000 km, not 200, and I'm 20 km from Germany, I leave near the 3-point (Germany - Belgium - Holland)...

I will work 3 weeks in Born (Holland), in April I will be one month in Dormagen (neighbourhood Koln), so I guess in April i'll have fun ...

Congrats on your nice ride, hope that you will have loads of fun with her (in Germany).

Btw, is it my imagination or is the "x" version higher on its wheels?

The X versions does not get the M sport suspension even though you add the M sport package.

I want to find anothor Touring with M sport package to compare. I can't say if it higher than another when they're not in each other neighbourhood.

I've seen them both, but not at the same time. I think the difference is very little.

By the way : next wednesday I'll go to Hannover (Cebit) (=400 km), then I will go on to Kronach (=600 km) and come back to Genk (=600 km).
So I will driving 1.600 km on german autobahn ... and I have now more than 2.000 km, so I can start driving faster ...
