In fairness, my E92 felt heavy, and I was always aware of its size - particularly at slower speeds. My F80, at roughly same weight, feels a little lighter on its feet -but also feels "big" in the mountains or lower speeds. Just gonna have to drive the G80 to know.

Exactly...handling is where I worry the most about this car. The youtube testing on the Ring shows pretty minimal body roll and tight cornering FWIW so i'm cautiously optimistic but acknowledge it very well may handle like an overweight overpowered pig
