Basically the appeal nets out to:
  1. Me: Vert, and fast
  2. Wife: Vert (and she looks good in in )
  3. Kids: Similarity to roller coaster ride

There have been multiple comments in various threads that the E93 is slower, doesn't handle as well etc. due to additional weight, and this is likely true. It's also likely true that in 99% of driving, you won't be able to tell the difference. I drove both, and without access to a track or winding canyon road, felt no gap.

Cheers
This vid somes up the problem nicely with "performance" verts
