This car has too many features to mention. It does take some time to become familiar with all the available tech. Still haven't had the nerve to let it park itself. Have only about 400 miles so still learning.

Before I get in to the car let me state that I had a horrific buying experience from McKenna South Bay BMW that is likely tainting my view. I would advise anyone and everyone to steer clear (see what I did there?) of this dealership. The truck... coming out of a leased 2017 330 wagon I can say that I'm horribly disappointed; think of it as a truck from BMW rather than a BMW SUV. It handles nothing like a 3 series. It has a tall driving position, which has advantages, but is nowhere near as comfortable or "connected" as the wagon. I truly enjoyed the wagon and this thing is just a truck. If you enjoy driving, this is not your vehicle. City fuel mileage is about 25 which is kind of amazing as this is not a hybrid. Highway mileage so far, with about 500 miles on the clock, is about 28. The price for that mileage appears to be a very non-linear throttle and lots of turbo lag, neither of which I experienced in the 330. The engine is bi-polar yet smooth and quiet with plenty of power. If spirited driving is desired, and it won't be, the 4 cylinder engine is plenty potent. As a suffering audiophile I can heartily recommend saving the $875 on the HK audio upgrade. It might be slightly better than the base audio I had in the 2017 but it has zero dynamics, zero imaging, and is inoffensive at best. The rest of iDrive is great and it deserves being called the best system on the market. Lack of Android Auto aside, it's minimally distracting, gets the job done, and you'll find that you rarely use the touchscreen. That being said pass on the upgraded digital dash as it's a complete waste of money after the first couple of days with it. I purchased the car with genuine Corinthian plastic seats and they're fine. I haven't experienced summer temps yet but I don't regret not getting moo-skin. BMW seems to have cracked the code making good use of the crude oil saved by the efficient engine and putting it into the seats. Cargo space is great and, with the increased height of the vehicle, I have so much more space, in the unusable vertical direction, than the wagon, I just don't know what to do with it. The power tailgate is reasonably quick and the kick sensor, included with Comfort Access, works well. Speaking of which, spring for Comfort Access. Yes, I know it's a rip off as most $30,000 cars have it standard, but trust me on this, spend the money. The truck handles competently but there is no enjoyment in driving it. Is it a BMW? Technically, from all the Roundels, it appears so. From the driver's seat, however, it's a truck. It's a nice truck... but it's a truck.

This car has all the safety, convenience, and tech features I could ask for. It drives like a BMW should...great acceleration, handling, and breaking. Definitely a performance suv.
