Well, just had my LR IM5 for two months and some thoughts.
Mostly good of course with one or two niggles.
Most notable is the vagueness of the steering which was mentioned by a few road testers - not a deal-breaker but just a thought.
Range I have mentioned being low at around 330/340 miles but as the weather warms up, that will change.
The heater is not the quickest to warm up but I really feel like I am being niggly.
Overall, its' a good car - it makes a statement and I smile at grey BMW series 5s who have paid out big bucks for theirs and mine was a snip!
Everyone admires the styling which is nice - it's a big selling point for the marque.
No issues with build quality of software issues - shouldn't have said that, should I - tempting fate!
Comfort is great and some mention the lack of rear seat comfort which astonishes me - my wife who has sat there a couple of times, says it's a lovely place to be.
Luggage space is excellent too.
As a technophobe, I have learened to use only necessary functions - so ADAS off immediately. I haven't played with elf-parking etc, nor using adaptive cruise yet but I'm sure they are good. I don't even mind the 'bongs' when I exceed a speed limit.
So, two months in, I'm pretty content with the car.
