Smooth power delivery, good torque curve, good manual transmission, but the clutch delay valve has got to go!
heavy car, but still nimble, handles very well, controlled body roll, secure handling (and stability control will save you if you get out of hand)
Great braking performance, HUGE front and rear vented rotors stop this car on a dime
Great seats, nice steering wheel, controls at hand, well thought out
good responsive steering, ergonomics is top notch with one exception: 1. iDrive (dont have it, hate it) and turn signal stalk (all bimmers have it, hate it)
