    Really Liked It But Wanted To Stay Ungraded. — Bought a 2015 and like it less that the 2012. For example the 2015 doors don't close easily--You have to really push them open or closed. The 2015 glove box won't fully open fully because it is lower than the one on the 2015 so the cover hits your legs and you have to move the seat back to open the glove box! The storage spaces near the bottom of each door accessed with difficulty because the arm rest/door handle sticks out too far toward the middle of the car and your arm cant'r reach in to storage area. Overall the 2012 is more user frienly than the 2015! Gas mileage is great, 26 mph at 80 mph.

    Primary Use: Family transportation

    Pros: In addition to other feautes there is a video screen behind each frornt seat headrest.rea. Great for kids!

    Cons: Not enough cup holders in front seats.

    Decent Overall. — Decent Overall. Looks & Accelerates GREAT!! Impeccable Comfort. I Replaced The AMG Wheels With COR 20" Staggered Fitment With Michelin Pilots, It Drastically Improved The Ride & Handling. However, If You Are Looking For Value, The Series7 Alpina Is A Much Better Value And More Fun To Drive. The BMW Is A Driving Enthusiasts Dream Car If There Is A Need For Four Doors.

    Primary Use: Family transportation

    Pros: Looks Great, Comfortable, Great Power.

    Cons: Fuel Consumption....This Car Simply Can't Pass A Gas Station Without Stopping. Suspension For An AMG Is TOO SOFT.
