Default New 450

Took delivery on a 2012 450h Saturday.
Ever since my sweetheart got her 2010 350 I've been jonesing for my own.
She has the Red, mine's gold.
Loaded with premium, 15 speakers and a tow hitch.
What happened to the compass in the rearview mirror and the remote start with a sticker over 60K?
Returning from Cleveland to PA got up to about 26 mpg. Still breaking in I guess.
Leaving for Florida Tuesday, interested in performance.

Congratulations. I got mine in April this year, and love everything about it. Enjoy your ride and drive safely! I just returned from a trip from upstate NY to Daytona Beach, and averaged 24.5 MPG on the way down, and 26.6 on the way back. The return trip was driven 5-10 MPH more slowly, and with 93 vs. 89 gas. Performance was more than adequate, though it was quite a change for me, coming from an E500 4Matic (unfortunately, no comparison there). I'm sure you'll enjoy the ML audio system; that was one option I wish I could have gotten (none by me without special order). My mileage starred improving after about 1000-1200 miles, and once I put it in ECO mode.

Congrats on the purchase!

the compass in the rearview got deleted after 2010 when you get the navigation.
