I don't usually get my car reviews from Bloomberg, maybe financial news and stocks. But they all read the same pretty much after a while. Still, not bad for a chick....

Except when she writes things like this:

But its newly efficient turbo-charged V6 engine reflects modern buyers' demand for something that driving machines decades ago didn't have to provide: high-performing efficiency.

She did get it right about 2/3 down the page:
"M4 comes with BMW's classic 3-liter inline-6 engine"

Gross, don't be like this.

In re: the review, I wonder if she had the TCS or MDM on the whole time. It feels a lot like turbo lag when that thing keeps you from going (she mentions you feel it in turns and on negative G), and it's *very* aggressive.

Wonder how much bmw paid for that one? Bloomberg checked every expensive box there is when ordering your "perfectly tailored suit".
