-car and drivers review was quite negative and not reassuring to be the "sportiest" entry. e60 to f10 was a huge swing to numbness and "isolation". the review on the g series only makes me more worried.

-is anyone else worried about this "adaptive" mode?
My F10 550 was terrible on run flats. Just swapping to stock 20" M5 wheels and Michelin Pilots changed the car completely overnight.

Not something you want to do after buying a new car but likely makes this car 10x better as well
