Your 2 cents are worth so much more than that to me! I had some more time behind the wheel of the new one, and I agree pretty much with what everyone mentioned. In my trials, the predictive shifting never worked and I ended up using the screen - not so bad at all - I didn't even need to "get used to it". I do wonder how it'll be with gloves on, but something to get used to. The lack of turn stalks got me every time, and I laughed each time I played air guitar. I soon warmed up to them, but did find myself taking my eyes off the road to look at the buttons I was about to press. When making S turns, I can see how the lack of stalks will just make me more of a bimmer driver and not use the signals at all because I'd usually just stick my finger out while the wheel is centering back and nail the stalk on the alternate rotation without thinking about it - when the wheel is upside down, having to think about pressing the correct button with my right hand is never going to be something I'm going to learn.
I haven't tried parallel parking, but I can see how not having the stalk there might be a pita - having to turn my head forward to look at the screen to find the shifter to change direction, instead of just pushing up or down while maneuvering. Certainly not a deal breaker.
Someone mentioned the 250KW supercharging - I had not even considered that. My 2012 only charges at 90, so 250 is a HUGE deal. I wish I had posted sooner, kinda late to take advantage of my one-time unlimited supercharger transfer by end of year
Regarding the "bones". I feel quite the opposite between my 2012, and the new one - I feel like it is a different car - slightly "cheaper" and less polished - yeah, I know, comparing the polish of the early 2012 models is almost laughable, but things like the gen1(2) door handles that had heft to them, were metal, not plastic, and have a pleasant sound when presenting and retracting(when they worked). The new ones (at least the one I drove) feels "cheap", and the door handles sound like a kids toy. These are not complaints, just my observations that struck me.
Thanks for all the feedback - I was really just curios about the fob - got more than I asked for in respsonse!
