Still considered 'flash' for the price of something newer, but less interesting.

Running costs not too bad, thirsty, insurance quite high, but not extortionate.

No ASC means scary handling in the wet.

Strong engine, but not that quick, scary handling in the wet dampens enthusiasm.

Becoming a victim of their own success, everyone can have one, still has BMW image for now.
