Everything is relative. Compare this to a full blooded M, and you’ll be disappointed. Expect it to be a comfortable, fast and technologically sophisticated car, and it’ll hit those objectives.
There’s not avoiding, however, the shift in philosophy of BMW and almost all other makers of mainstream cars. Ultimate driving machine no longer applies - ultimate performance machine, or ultimate tech machine might each work better.
We’re i in the market for this type of car, I’d look at the m340, but I do find the market it once was called to be a misnomer - this and the comparable benzes and Audi’s aren’t really performance sedans as much as luxury cars.
