I think so much attention has been paid to the change over from the I6 to the I4, which turned out to be more successful than many expected in almost all objective measures, that very little attention is give to the other aspects of the car. I remain skeptical about how engaging this car is to drive compared to its predecessors.

1.) Maybe the test car had lots of optional equipment?
2.) Doesn't the E90 have bodyroll? Maybe F30 has more roll & slower response, but maybe it's faster overall round corners?
3.) Maybe exclusive to US-spec cars? EU/ROW spec gets bigger front & rear discs compared to US-spec.
