This also shines at Suzuka's back straight after Spoon, where I've hit 240km/h(GT3 territory!) before tapping brakes into 130R: it accelerates so well after 4th gear it's fucking scary.
BMW lost their mind when building the E9X, it is wonderful. both the DCT and the 6MT are geared so well! In fast tracks the E9X surprises more than one person who has spent too much time comparing power to weight in Excel...
