Indeed, I agreed with pretty much everything--the good but controlled ride, the flexible power of the engine, the overall composure, the stupidity of the MDrive button. I don't find the iDrive a problem in normal use, but I wish the variable functions were all completely adjustable with the buttons on the console, not just part of them.

I noted a couple spec errors: 1) transmission is ZF (which they note in the text), not Getrag as noted in the specs; 2) gas tank is 16.6 gallons, not 20. And, of course, we know that DCT is already out.

Overall, i think the writers were able to put into words some of the things I have observed/felt. It will be fun to see how the 335 afficianados respond to the comparison.
