Agree with everything you have said mostly but just wanted to add more details.
On-going impressions:
* Great looking car; rare on the roads - AGREE, MOST PEOPLE STILL AM NOT SURE WHAT CAR IT IS - THEY KNOW ITS A BMW, SOME THOUGHT IT WAS A MASERATI
* Dinan tune Stage II makes it a bomb when you want it - AGREE
* DCT (using paddles/shifter) is absolutely superb - 6 SPD MANUAL HERE, VERY ENJOYABLE GEARBOX, NO EXTRA EFFORTS NEEDED ON SHIFTS
* Excellent visibility with top up or down - AGREE
* Sound system is great
* iPod hookup is flawless
* No bad comments on the handling - car does what you want it to without fuss - AGREE, HANDLES PERFECTLY ON THE TRACK AS WELL
* Sport setting seems right for everything except long trips (Normal) and perhaps Sport+ for aggressive driving - KEEP IT AT NORMAL MODE, MOSTLY STREET DRIVING - NO FREEWAYS
* Top mechanism has been flawless - SAME HERE
* The trunk is really big (top up) for a 'vert - AGREE
* Dealer-provided floor mats suck - have velcroed them down to keep driver side from tangling underfoot - AGREE
Mods:
* Dinan Stage II+ and full Stett FMIC/DV setup = best money spent for performance gains
* Can't wait till coilovers and BBK setup are going in next spring
Troubles: had an issue with my steering column sensor/junction box - car was at the dealership for 3.5 weeks, trunk partition cover is broken - dealership fix, windows pop back down at times when closing them all at once
