2) slight "squeaking" noise from the mid-pillar;
3) feel vibrating from the steering wheel when it's around 50-60 km/h under light acceleration...feel like engine/transmission doesn't know where to go...it's struggling? I didn't feel it during test drive.
4) its around 11.5 L/100 Km (never reset it since pickup) about 40/60 hwy/local. Is it normal?

It's my first BMW, maybe I'm too sensitive, or something really wrong?
If you like listening to loud music, you should have gotten the audio upgrade option. The standard audio is not bad, better than most other standard audio systems.
Get the dealer to look the squeak, maybe its a easy fix.
Its a BMW, you are suppose to feel the road.
Don't even look at the gas mileage computer before 5000 miles, 10000 km, as your car is still breaking in as far as gas mileage wise.
