I drove Lux Line with MC seats. XDrive 35i.

Here are my findings:

1) Lux line looks as good as xLine - Running Boards.

2) I think the elegance factor is missing when the grill is not either chrome or silver matte particularly with darker exterior.

3) Steering is so smooth. Even a penny would be waste of money on Active Steering. IMHO

4) Beige interior is not on the yellow side but more on White side. Looks nice but tough to maintain.

5) the redesigned MC seats are sleek and nice. Softer than standard seats

6) Standard seats are also improved compared to outgoing model.

7) Navigation, Dash and Ambience lighting awesome.

8) Sparkling brown is nice and really dark in indoor.

9) Harman Kardon really has a difference. I have tried both stock and HK systems for 20 min and can notice the difference significantly. Again, you will never know the lacking or inefficiency of stock system unless you hear to HK. Bang should even be better But way too expensive.

10) Car feels and looks more agile.

Added HK to my order and we are going with Sparkling Brown with Biege leather.
