Steering was much better than my 540i. Suspension, though firm, was not jarring and took breaks in the pavement better than the 704 passive M Sport suspension. Transmission definitely shifts later and harder than mine, and the exhaust tone is much louder. Again, all things you expect. I might have to start considering a '22 or '23 as a replacement but the later cars may all be Comps. This one was a '22 with 23k miles on it.
I also drove a G60 530i non sport that was nice, like a Lexus, but not like a BMW should be. Got back in my G30 and enjoyed the ride home in Sport+

I want an M5 but I’d be afraid to daily drive it for 1,000 miles per month.
