Thanks again folks,

First annoyance...

Went to go visit some friends in PTA, car parked for the next, next morning we are going for breakfast...

LF wheel completly flat..

WTF... ok it is runflats, so we drive the 200m to the garage, battle to get air in, but she takes and holds.

drive the car back to jhb, dropped it off at my local Supaquick in my complex.

They report all is well.

I then drove that evening, got a tyre pressure warning, tyre pressure 2.9.. WTF

SO down to 2.2, all is well...

This morning, wheel flat...

I suspect the rim is cracked, which is going to be MOST annoying...

OK so the tyre saga was 4 buckled rims... That was sorted.

Now, I just didi a 600km trip. once sitting, two pee breaks.

WOW what a car...

The good
Night vision object recognition works, saw a couple of cows, and it warned me bout a dog in the road

Comfort was epic, I drove the entire trip, I was not even really tired, car was in sport mode all of the time,

That 8 speed auto box, is just, simply... I have no words, epic.. really epic.

Speed for overtaking is pretty kewl, plant it and she goes... and goes... dammit but this thing revs.

Complaints
There are some, the flippen fuel tank is too small, Ok i was drving 121km/h so expect consumption to be heavier, according to the computer its abbout 12, but at 12 on a 65L tank.... its not enough...... Filled up in Bokbsurg, and had to fill up again bout 80km before Saint Lucia, I think i shall let the wife drive back, and do an economy run.

One thing that did bug me, the active seat.... aka the butt massager
It works really well, and its focus is to constantly adjust/move the spine, yes that works very well, but after hour 4, it probably overheated, and I had cold air coming from the aircon in front, and warm air on my left arm... most annoying.... turned it offf for a while, and heat dissipated.

On bumpy roads, the DVD at the back kept jumping, which interruped wallece and grommit, which annoyed my daughter....

Only other issue, is it would be cool, I understand why not, but it would be cool to control the rear entertainment from the front I-Drive so we can change DVD's "mid-flight", specially cause of the skipping issue. Will try the DVD player in front on the trip back....

Other then that, the more I drive this car... the more I love it... I am almost over the E60.... almost....

I had a tyre pressure problem on my back right wheel, I checked the tyre pressure in town and put some air in and the next day I got a warning , I then sprayed soapy water on the valves I found out after doing this it was leaking , the back valves pin had bent skew and would not seat ,so I bent it streight with a small screwdriver and the problems solved now
