Very nice, and those BMW sport seats are pretty darn comfortable. I also like that bluestone metallic.

Totally agree. Can't believe Lexus did not put in plug in.

Agreed. If I remember correctly, the ride is just magical correct?

Nice Bimmer!! IMO the 5 series has gotten so much larger(and luxurious) over the past two generations, it just doesn't make sense to have a 7 series, unless you are just dead set on having the best and most expensive.

So more details on the hybrid drivetrain. 4 cylinder turbo? 6 cylinder turbo? What sort of range in all electric mode??? Price(just give us an MSRP, you don't have to say what you paid)???

Also I really like that interior with the brown leather. The stitching on the seat is amazing, something you would have only seen in a Rolls or Bentley 10-15 years ago.

4. Cylinder turbo, electric range is around 13-15 miles. MSRP was $84,000CAD, but I leased.

Very impressive auto! The color combo is classy and elegant. This should prove to be a ride to hold on to.

Wow! You have good taste. Congrats! My wife wants has made it known she wants a four door. BMW is on her short list. Don't get me wrong she lives the Lexus IS350 convertible but would like a family hauler.
How are the rear seats? Do they lean back? Any gizmos back there?
Again, congrats!!
