End of week one. 600 miles on the clock and average mpg is between 45 and 47mpg on my trips into the office (virtually all motorway driving).

What I like:
Its a BIG car and feels like it
Business speakers are fabulous at all volumes (and they are loud!)
Still don't know what some buttons do - gadgets are good
Plenty of space
Lovely gearbox - both action and stick positioning in console
Quiet, refined, cossetting ride

What I don't like:
Ride feels skittish. Rear end feels loose on bends compared to my E91
Steering feels light compared to E91. Mind you, hated the E91 at first as too heavy...
Boot lid needs shoving closed hard - bounces open too easily
Doors don't feel as solid as E91 - its tailgate in particular closed with a KERCHUNK that sounded like a giant iron gate slamming shut.

Anyway, some photos:
