1) Engine is a lot quieter and smoother.
2) Start / Stop seems to work when you expect it to rather than whenever it feels like it.
3) Steering is a lot lighter (I had the odd sounding steering issue on the 1st one but wasn't worried by it).
4) All body panels had lacquer on them and the paint finish seems better.
5) Locking and window mechanisms are smoother and quieter
6) Doors open/close with the sound you'd expect from a BMW
7) Cup holder inserts included.
8) Much less road noise and overall just feels more composed and BMW like to drive.
I get number 7 but are the rest real improvements or just perception? (perhaps a friday build versus a midweek build? perhaps they are getting better, better trained?)
