Thank you!

Thank you all. Got the car with the 20" wheels. Purchased last night. Really felt comfortable. Not sure if it was the nice Giga interior or the bigger wheels, but it drove beautifully. https://www.flickr.com/photos/135194874@N06/shares/o860a6

Thank you to all who helped in this forum. I got the car yesterday! Very happy! Any questions, please let me know. https://www.flickr.com/photos/135194874@N06/shares/o860a6

Excellent, thank you. I will test one on the highway tomorrow for sure.

Ahh.... That's making me nervous. I'll be test driving soon, but worried the 20" won't feel as comfortable as the 19"...and can't find a model I like with the 19 at the moment....

Yes, I should probably add, driving on Highway speeds concerns? Handling, 20" tires? Unnerving? Does the car feel hard to control on the highways?

Yes, do you really notice the difference or is this a mental thing? I'm looking at one with the 20" not because I want them but because the car has everything else I want. I'm nervous because the 19" already felt stiff to me. (Don't care about winter issue...in CA.)

Just have to vent a bit more... Just can't believe there's no back-up camera on this car without the parking package... Even the leaf has an around-view camera... Too bad I test drove a leaf and almost fell asleep while driving it. :)

Anyone have some good ballpark numbers on what a 2014 should lease for these days? Just a ballpark? The 2015's are still "up there."

Yes definitely need the A/C! No back up camera standard is really sad when $15,000 cars have them. Ugh.

Thank you, Jeffj and janner. Janner, when you say, range is 83 miles, etc, is that on battery alone? I assume, or with Rex? Anyone have a back-up camera but NOT the parking package? Seems odd to me that they wouldn't include one, and I believe it's the new law moving forward?

I know it seems like I'm asking for reassurance from the owners who love the cars but I'm really looking for what I can expect. Reasonable expectations from owners and not the BMW advertisements. On my last car, hybrid sedan, advertised big mpg and I never got close. So now I'm just hoping to...

Excellent detailed feedback, drb. Really great to hear on the batteries, jadnashuanh. Is the active heating/cooling new to 2015 models, or has it been available from the start?

Great feedback Noakey! Thank you! Just about ready, but nervous! And wife is probably more nervous than me. :)

Hi, about to purchase a Rex and would love to get some feedback from current owners, before I do, just in case. 1) I live in the CA desert where it can get to 110+ for months and in the summer, the car can bake in a garage and especially parked outside when out and about. Anyone have experience...
