The car felt big and heavy and just not as precise or direct as previous gens. Granted this was only a 20 minute test drive of the f80, but I can recall driving e90's recently and the precision and direct chassis/steering feel is instantly noticeable. The f80 did have enormous amounts of torque and power though, that definitely stood out 
Really hoping the M2 has these steering/chassis characteristics that I love about the older M's! |
F80 weighs less than the E90, I think all this big and heavy talk is mostly in people's heads after reading magazine reviews and forum posts. Yes the car is bigger dimension ally but it's not the difference between a 2 series and a 7 series.
