Like this but Charcoal Grey
And it’s a really great luxury car. Other than throwing some //M badges on it, there’s no real sporting pretense whatsoever.
Silky smooth drivetrain and ride, though I wasn’t overwhelmed by the power (DD’ing a 400 hp V8 will do that to you...).
Didn’t drive it hard (owner in the passenger seat), but steering was firm and 100% without feel, and the car felt pretty heavy. I suspect the cornering limits are reasonably high, but it won’t be that much fun to toss it around.

I have to stay away from anything “luxury” these days for fear of spacing out while driving.
Maybe my manual-everything 1991 MR2 has spoiled me; last week I drove a Honda Fit (not even that “fancy” of a car) and I was falling asleep.
Is there any ///M car today that still has good driver feedback?

Plus it’s as large as a city block.

Maybe the M2?? Supposedly it’s great - I haven’t driven it.
A few months ago, I drove a Porsche 997 S; 981 Boxster S; and current M4 all basically back to back. All 3 manuals - the Porsches were way more involving (and fun) than the BMW was.
