The comment re the steering is somewhat concerning. It is more precise but is the steering feel better? Is its or F8X steering feel closer to the E90?
Did you feel its weight more vs the F8X and the E90?
edit: Is its handling better than the F8X?

I would say it is an upgrade mostly in interior and a small amount of performance.
On the track you won't feel any lag as the gearbox ratio fits perfectly at full power band. Not sure about daily use.
Steering is not artificially heavy in the F8x, if E90 steering feel is rated at 10 and F8x is 5, G8x would slot in around 6.5-7.
It definitely feels big and heavier like there's one more passenger in the car, however more horsepower, improved traction and better steering remedied some of the heaviness.
It handles a bit better, but not much.
