That was a criticism often seen in driving reviews and I would think to myself "what a silly criticism." In reality, having driven it the car was improved upon in every respect and it's truly amazing what BMW pulled off here. From what I experienced yesterday, BMW have basically eliminated any feeling of body roll even at speeds in excess of 100 mph while taking turns that put the car in maybe .8 lateral G (estimated). It is a strange feeling. Pushing a car and eliciting nothing other than compliance.
All This Improvement = Less Feeling of Danger, and Less Feeling of Danger = Less Adrenaline.
With that being said, I am really looking forward to tracking this car later in the summer.

Congratulations, the car looks absolutely stunning and I am sure none of these photos do any justice. I couldn't agree with you more on your statement here, as I often get shocked at how easily she gets to 100mph in 6th gear!
