What are the little things you LOVE about your F60?
I'll go first!
So I'm trying out my adaptive cruise control for the first time on my 2018 JCW F60 (manual of course). I had it set on 70 mph and in the HOV lane. the truck in front of me slowed down to about 20 mph. The car slowed itself down on it's own, and (here's the awesome part) when I downshifted, the cruise control stayed on! Since the car rev matches on it's own, all I had to do was shift into the proper gear and never had to worry about setting the cruise control again.
Let me not get started on it parking itself!

The presets in Radio/Multimedia under the volume control ****. I've set presets to audio, Sports Mode Boost/Tourque screen, Nav addresses, and Vehicle Status. Pretty much any screen in Control Display can be set to a preset.
Love that!
Love that!

Yep - cruise control staying on while shifting (manual transmission) isn't actually new. Most modern vehicles do this even without adaptive cruise.
Though I am hard pressed to find anything in particular that I LOVE here's a list of goods:
I like how the rear seats slide forward and back.
I like how the car handles in Dynamic mode (good for a small SUV).
I like the interior layout and quality/fit/fitment of leather, ***** etc.
I like the looks of the car.
I like the sub compartment in the trunk for loose items or items we keep in the car all the time (re-usable grocery bags etc).

Adaptive cruise is amazing. It works even better with an automatic. Also at start stop.
Love my electric tailgate. Absolutely fantastic! Very handy!
Also love the alarm light on the antenna. Like an airplane. Love the design of the dash. Airvents design.
2 times pull release of the hood so you don’t have to search for the catch. Auto gearbox is great, smooth, fast and perfect tuned.
