New Owner: 2012 528i M Sport
Got the car about 2 months ago as my 2009 e92 335i M Sport lease ended.
Its Black on Black with M Sport, Tech Pack, Premium Pack, Heated Seats etc. I have about 2500 miles now. The Good 1. Love the Design Inside/Out 2. Build Quality 3. Interior Comfort 4. Very Quiet (I dont hear the engine noise at all) 5. Smooth Ride 6. Engine HP - I drive mostly in NYC but even on a trip to DC, the engine has been a pleasant surprise. The Bad 1. Steering Feel - Horrible!!!!!!! (especially compared to my E92) 2. Seats - No adjustment to side bolsters (miss this so much from my coupe) 3. MPG - Im at about 19.5mpg, my coupe was around 15mpg but it was a 335i. Not enough of a savings IMO to give up the sweet sound and HP. 4. Transmission - I have gotten a transmission malfunction alert!!!! 5. Wheels - These 18s are FUGLY imo. (looking to upgrade) 6. Stock ride height - Is BMW taking lessons from Lexus now?

Congratulations on your ride.
I didn't realize the instrument clusters were different.

Odometer reading and trip mileage in roughly the same place (very bottom centre)
Outside Temp is on far right bottom. Time is on far left bottom. The bottom of the speedometer circle is a red band for the range left on the tank of gas. MPG, range, current fuel consumption and other on-board computer functions as well as some NAV are in the bottom of the speedometer just like the P and D etc are in the bottom of the tachometer. In Canada, the black panel "instrument cluster, extended" is standard across the range. But so is the Cold Weather package.
