I find myself driving it anytime I get permission to do so.  |
Well said from someone who should know.
I have owned sports cars cars for quite while. Some of the best ones were not praised by the reviewers. It takes more than an hour or two to appreciate all the benefits of the E89. I tried to like the E85 and the Boxster but they did not work as well for me.
In some cases I personally think that BMW put the wrong tires and wheels on some of the E89s. Also the DCS and the adaptive suspension can sometimes be too smart for their own good. When in doubt, use sport or sport +. The E89 has a learning curve if you want to drive hard, while some others make you look good right away.
Enjoy
