I had mine (435i) out on a more spirited drive on our mountain roads with some friends this weekend, the car is clearly not a sports car, you feel that it is heavy, the standard M supsension is a bit to soft, it tends to understeer, but the car is very rigid for a 4 place convertible.
It just does not like beeing "trashed arround".
On the other hand I have been absolutely pleased for everyday driving with it, cruising home after work on a sunny day is just a real pleasure. And that what it has been made for.
I also drove the 428i for several weeks waiting for mine to arrive, It feels a bit lighter but I really can't stand the 4 cyl. engine in this car. Sounds terrible, feels terrible. Ok for a touring but not for driving top down. (just my 2c)
