Let's not forget though that this is a big GT car that weighs what, 4500 lbs (I don't know the exact figure)? It's not shocking that it isn't going to handle well. I can't comment on the suspension, but the steering isn't good because they are using the EPAS system for fuel savings. We can expect EPAS on every car in probably less than 10 years. Sad, but just like FI, it's a realization that we have to live with.

Also, who's the main demographic for this car? It's people that aren't going to drive the hell out of their cars (people in their 50's, and 60's).

Sure, it's softer (in all ways) than the previous 6er, but it will still be a great seller for BM due to the fact that the people buying the 650i do not want something so harsh. The people that want a harsh 650i will get the M6. BMW knows this and I'm sure that will have nothing but rave reviews.

Also, it will not be surprising if these are the same comments for the F3X BMWs, but again the M versions of those will make up for it.
