Redesigned for this model year. Multiple complaints about the nine-speed automatic transmission, peaking around the spring of 2015. Not reflected in the stats because in most cases no hardware-based solution, at least not yet.

To some, this is important. BMW, however good their cars might be, conjures up images of lawyers, trophy wives, and young hotshots who inherited their father's estate.
