Did a few more miles, including some more spirited curves. Great precision! Can be placed very exact, hugging the inside of the curve. And really sticks to the road for such a car. Some understeering that can be nicely balanced and neutralized with the gas peddal.

Also activated ConnectedDrive. Hmm. Mixed bag. Have the impression that menu was written by a different crew than the rest of the system. Slight problems with activation (SMS activation code didn't arrive, but the ConnectedDrive help line girl did a good job and activated it on her computer).

Noticed when scrolling through radio stations on the steering wheel, that the list on the main display will not syncro-scroll. Should be fixed by BMW, shouldn't be too hard.

And as much as I like the car, I have to say I've been driving cars with less creaking (however slightly). Most of them coming from the center stack. My brother's Audi coupe has almost 120.000 mls (student car) and there are less creaks over joints and manholes.
