^ I agree. We are talking about it like it's a bad thing, but I think it really comes down to what you use the car for and what you want out of it. For me, I was ready to swap the E46 for the E90 because of all that feedback. It was a hoot, totally sensational, but a "bit much" for most driving. It wasn't all that stiff and NVH was not more than stock, there was just so much being communicated through the car that you feel exhausted after a few hours of driving it. The E9x offers its own sensations and outstanding performance, while being a little more comfortable. At this point in my life, I wanted to shift that balance a little to the comfort side (would be great to have both!). I am happy with the plates, sway bar, tires, and alignment, and do not plan on adding monoball FTABs at this time.
With an S2K in the garage, I think the E9x is the better choice. Conversely, if someone has a Lexus DD and wants to add a fun weekend car, I may be more inclined to recommend the E46.
