Now we criticize the direction 3 series is going and we talk "shit like this". Well give us back the driving machine and "shit like this" is going to be a very positive shit.
Couldn't have said it better. The irony is that they don't really seem to get (or care, other than PR) about this 'tiny' issue called driving pleasure. Was a time when I would go on and on about the telepathic BMW steering to anyone that'd listen (and God knows how many friends/family I've steered to BMW) - once I drove the F30, it was all over. With the EPS, BMW killed the soul of the car they built their brand on.
