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.

sport+ always unless the wifes in the car. its a tiny car compared to almost any car and a little bigger than the e85. I honestly don't think judging a car based on stock performance is smart. New tires and a chip makes this car a beast. Throw some rims and a drop and its something to keep forever. The one im in has 50k and if the new z5 isn't anything as amazing in terms of looks, then i'm getting a low mileage one to keep for life. I wish I also still had my e85 because of the tossability of it. That car was a true track car in terms of size and handling.
