The X3M Comp obviously doesn't give any clues about steering feel (tractor tires!), but I can safely say that power delivery is *way* less linear than my F82.
Wait ... wait... wait..... whoosh ... revlimiter.
This is why it's really hard to drive using the paddles - 8 spd auto means close ratios and you really have to keep on top of the shift timing. Lose the boost and you're in a world of pain. Plus the (gear change) lag on downshifts is a nightmare.
In short, it drives OK and accelerates like a beast if you let the auto box do everything and enjoy 'point and shoot' - but that's not a driver's car.
