Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very smooth, but a bit crashy due to M sport suspension & run flat tyres. When tyres are due for a change I'll be fitting Non run flat ( Std ) tyres, and then it'll be all that BMW intended it to be. I knew the sports suspension was firm before I bought the car, so can't complain.
What's it like to park?
Not a problem..for a large car, the power steering & parking sensors make it easy to park anywhere.
