First impressions ? I love the car. Massivelybetter than my previous E60 523i Auto LCI. Interior build quality and finish isway better ? 7 series quality. I love the Oyster seats and the black carpets,not sure about the Anthracite headliner, but I didn?t have an option with theDynamic package. Sound system is the best I have ever heard in a car ? base isstrong but controlled, I have even heard sounds I have never heard before inmusic I listen to all the time. Sport seats are good, close to my previous Comfortseats.

Exterior panel gaps and alignments are betterthan my E60. Deep Sea Blue is elegant, it is radiant in sunlight, but can be alittle dull on a dark day ? unless the car is spotless.
