Lots of insulation, sound deadening, weak exhaust sound, slushbox tranny (smooth but geared tall).
sounds alot like the x3m I drove... totally numb driving experience.

I'm frequently critical of how BMWs drive, but I found the X3M to be relatively fun for a crossover. Steering definitely feels straight out of a video game but at least it's quite tight. Porsche's EPS takes the cake for providing the most "natural" feel.
But I see your point. Most of these cars are so capable and so refined that they feel boring unless you're pushing them to their limits. These limits are so high that exploring them on public roads is dangerous. That's the impression I came away with from the M340 after driving it both on the road and on autocross.
