Mpg jumped from 16 to 32 in the short journey home (6 miles) so looking good.

Now have to learn the sat nav/phone settings etc..!

So far very pleased

Ride nice.... smoother than SWMBO's 3 series beamer

The sound system is

The Bang and Olufsen speakers are crystal clear
The 8 speed twin clutch gearbox is epic in dynamic mode... In normal auto it sometimes takes a millisecond to change down but I'm splitting hairs now... overall my 1st drive since ownership was very pleasant (if a tad slow as suddenly everyone drives too slowly!)

Looks great! Luckily not Cayenne-Like cluttered interior. I still wouldn't compare it to a RRS, but at least you're already driving your new car, I still have a 6 month wait ahead of me

ha ha

Those are the ones I spec'd on the build (we think alike) plus the flattened steering wheel

Maybe when my current set of 20's "wear out"....

Took it out for a blast this morning.... still cannot stop grinning like a cat when you nail it.... no way is there a diesel under the bonnet... awesome engine RRS gone

That's more like it
Flat bottomed wheel - completely agree . Had that on my spec too (and on the standard Q5 I was messing about with).
Those wheels do look nice too ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
