It was very fast, no doubt, but felt sterile and numb.
Driving the M240 is like sex with a condom. It'll get the job done, but there is no feel.

This couldn't be more "bang" on.
Most sterile experience I've had in such a fast car. Merging on an onramp with the 8AT was an incredible exercise in efficiency and sterility. No fanfare whatsoever. Almost like driving a Tesla sensation wise.
Its a masterpiece of NVH and steering noise reduction in its own way, especially those crisp accurate computer controlled shifts. But a sports car with lots of excitement it is not.
Almost jizzed myself though coming off the offramp and experiencing the 8AT downshift perfectly through every single gear on the way down to 1st. What a transmission. Like to see a human driver do that in a 6MT (not that you need to but still).
