Lots of potential minor kinks to sort out with all of those firsts. I'm in the same boat, and forgot the key mantra from my automotive past--don't buy the first year of anything. - YES, and rule #1: don't buy the first year production of a BMW!
All that said, it's still a joy to drive. As I've said to many (and this works for either gender)--owning a BMW is like dating a model:
  • Fun to be around
  • Looks good to your friends
  • Very high maintenance
