[QUOTE="j0shua, post: 370295, member: 15068"] Thanks! The ride's very different from the E66. Having used an E66 for so long, it's easy to notice the subtle differences in the cars that make the F02 so much more better. It feels genuinely smaller than an E66, even though it looks a bit larger, esp from the front as it has a more upright grille. The E66 feels bigger on the inside, as the rear door panels curve outwards, and the central screen doesn't intrude rearward as with the F02. The F02 has no seatbelt for a rear central passenger, at least I couldn't find one. Sitting on the hard central bit would seem a bit uncomfortable, too. Having driven the F02 a bit more, it turns in better, and while the ride is a bit harder than the E66, it's still a very comfortable place to be at the back. I spec'd the sports steering with HUD, so the car tactile-wise, it feels less like the luxobarge it actually is. The reverse camera is a like a gift from heaven, the problem I found most with the E66 was judging the rear gap so the car won't stick out that much when reverse parking. It's one thing to put it in the red zone on the PDC, but how far into the red zone? I'll take some comparison pics sometime soon. [/QUOTE]
