Its a Platinum edition, AWD, but not a R model. Im pretty impressed with the interior package and SWMBO loves the phone interface. Big step up from her 2006 BMW. Seamless BT phone pairing and nice phone dash controls

The outside is gorgeous.

I like the headlights. Nice projector for low beam i assume. I like it. Maybe the 70 is better than 60 and 90. I wonder
