New 28i delivered

very happy with it overall - got it with the Msport package, looks really sharp. love the chestnut interior and the anthracite headliner.

one thing that annoys me is you can ONLY shut the rear hatch by standing behind the car and pushing the button. that's annoying, I liked being able to open/close the one on my wife's Quest from the remote or the button up front.

handles like a car..

gotta get used to the throttle sensitivity, a bit laggy unless you dip into it, then it roars..

I will post some pics when I get a good shoot location/time. the space gray is a great color, best gray ever.

oh yeah this is for my wife.. but I am enjoying it as though it was mine..

JOY

I believe that the rear gate can only be closed in the rear due to safety reasons... last thing you want is that closing on a child or something.

Space grey is stunning! looks good on every BMW that I have seen. Make sure you post pics!

the quest had a safety sensor on the sliders and the tailgate any resistance it reverses itself. including getting old and not closing smoothly!

another thing that would be really nice would have been opening hatch glass so you can get stuff in and out without having to do the whole hatch.. the jeep GC has it..

still love it..

I just got my digital mats last week. They are a perfect fit, just in time for winter!

2011 models? when I went online they didn't have the 2012, and I wasn't sure if they were the same exact fit..

I think with the kids and the mud in winter they will be a good idea, how do they feel under your feet compared to cloth? does your heel slip and drift on them?
