He does discuss the chassis and suspension - but I think his response was that suspension is equivalent with the other 5ers. It makes sense as the suspension is exactly the same. It is also possible they may not get the rear wheel steering on this particular model.
Personally, I have found the car corners extremely flat - the comfort seats don't keep you secure however - and there is some roll at more extreme cornering (thus his comment about weight being impossible to dismiss at a certain point).
Right at the end of the video he actually states something I agree with - how suitable are these cars for the track - even at the M5 level? I tracked my E63S once - and it was not a great experience as the weight of the car just made it a painful experience (feeling the car labour through each turn) - it could do it - but it was very hard on the car. The earlier, very light and much smaller gen 5er's some people had or remember are - in general - gone for all Manufacturers.
