Smooth Quiet Ride
 Beautiful car, great ride, although you do feel bumps to a degree.  Not as plush a ride as Lexus or Lincoln.  Car not made for short people who are 5'1", but I can work around it.  Car is my husband's car, and fits him well. Hard for me to see over high dash on driver's side, hard to get out of car without bruising back of calves (but salesman showed me the trick on how short people can get out more easily), back of front seat cushion makes seat uncomfortable for short people, as the cushion pushes my back out.  It hits the right place of the back on regular-height and tall people.  If I sit on a pillow, the back of the front-seat cushion fits my back fine, but I shouldn't have to do this in an expensive car like this. Car handles beautifully, quiet inside, high-quality materials.  Hard for me to see blind spot when I turn around due to my height.  Biggest complaint is difficulty of using the features, changing a radio station, finding what you want on the screen.  There are some buttons, but most features accessed by a mouse-type wheel on the console.  Very dangerous to find what you want while you're driving.   Mercedes is much more intuitive and easier to use.  No current weather outside is displayed for the passenger - it only shows for the driver!  This should be standard in all cars.  Also, was told by salesman that the rear-view mirror would display the direction you're headed with an "N," "NE," etc., but it doesn't.  Also, you cannot use Maximum A/C or Heat on the floor only.  Being short, this is important to me, as the middle vents always blow in my face and eyes.  However, happily and  surprisingly, the BMW vents can be directed so it doesn't blow in my face, unlike the Mercedes.  Storage space is adequate; nice, extra storage compartment under floor in very back if you do not use it for a spare tire, which you shouldn't need with the run-flat tires.  Glove compartment is small for size of car - the manual takes up the whole glove compartment.  My husband absolutely loves the car.  It is fun to drive, even for short people!  And I love how quiet it is inside.
