Someone in Munich needs to start listening.

Hogan put it best: “Technically good, you just won’t be having any fun. How does this BMW make light oversteer in a 600-hp monster feel so boring?”
It could be the steering. Once a hallmark of the brand, BMW’s electric rack is overboosted and numb, keeping you distant. Sorokanich also had a gripe with the sheer amount of drive modes available: “It’s completely overwhelming and it leads you to constantly question the setting you’ve chosen. I’m left wondering who this car is for.”
