Thanks, I feel you. One of the big reasons I felt OK with going to the G20 was that it was the size of an E39 5-series. Everytime I drove an E39 I was like, "This car is the perfect size, not too small, not too large."

I felt that BMW engineers sought to emulate the E39 M5 with this car, knowing they could never hit that mark. Almost the same power, made up for by being not as heavy (in RWD form) and ironically the M5 was never known for steering feel either! Since I had to give up having my dream M5, this car was a natural choice for me.

Cheers and thanks! Looking forward to your impressions!
