It also feels more jittery and nervous, and not everyone (myself included) is a huge fan of that feeling.
The steering isn't the best in terms of feel at hand, it's still a bit heavy and rubbery, but it responds well to what's happening underneath you. That works."
That Motor1 review wasn't particularly glowing, and the 4er's design could kill all hope of this car no matter how good it is for many including myself.

Car and driver must have been more active at the bar after the event
"there will likely be some cross-shopping with the Porsche Cayman and 911. If you are interested in any of those, the new BMW 4-series will deserve a very close look."
Back in the real world it sounds like a good platform for the M4 with the already Increased ALU use, wide track and low cog. Nevermind that C&D drunk talk  |
If there's one thing I've learned with C/D its to never trust their press drives. They are always extremely positive and never look at the negatives. Once they get the cars in their own hands for a review they tell it how it really is. Just look at the difference in F30 and G30 press drives and then instrument tests/reviews, they go from glowing to critical.
