They just tested the 2022 version which is the same car, also with 20" wheels, and if you read both reviews you really have to wonder if someone is off their meds.

Look for yourself

It can be really confusing when the same mag has such disparate opinions on essentially the same car.
Oh it gets worse. I don't have the links readily available... but the same mag (C&D) and the SAME journalist at one time called the m340i m-sport suspension harsh and "brittle" in one article and called it compliant and comfortable in another. The inconsistencies are mind boggling. Almost makes you think there's advertising money behind what's written in some of these articles
