Matt Farah of The Smoking Tire did the same thing.
Should be a good sign for those who have yet to drive it that he raved about practically everything else - the grip, steering, powerband, 6-speed gearing, and braking all were rated highly by Brian.
BTW, if you're going 6-speed, you can easily keep the MSRP under $85k and even under $80k if you don't need the CF buckets. Knock off a few more bucks for G80. Amazing, amazing value.

I don't know if BMW is doing themselves favors spec'ing these out so far on testers. It makes the price sound so nutty. My M3 6MT was south of 80k and I still don't feel like I'm missing anything that I actually care about (except maybe full leather instead of extended...which still would have been barely over 80k on an M4 and a hair under on an M3).
