Dissapointing 524i
 This car first and foremost is weak.  It is a big car with no wow factor.  Do not purchase premium package because you'll get bored quickly.  There is no exhilaration factor, nothing that stands out except good steering.  The weird curves on this car make it somewhat confusing when backing up as it is very bloated.  Electronic throttle makes the car seem not connected with the driver, there seems to be a delay.  The looks are not impressive, I thought this was a car and not a spaceship.  This car is a huge disappointment as I have compared it to my brothers 2001 BMW 525i which looks better and somehow feels more reliable and nicer to drive, has some more oomph to it.  Do not be fooled.
