Way overboard there, I wouldn't say that. They didn't find it to be as agile as before and others have complained about the ergonomics. There is a comparo in the May issue of Car and Driver in which the same gripes were noted. I think some are too quick to label any negative comments about a BMW as pathetic and/or clueless. Who knows maybe the Canadian version gets a different suspension calibration than the European or U.S. version. It isn't enough to get worked up over, IMO. The vehicle is still outstanding IMO, without having driven it yet of course.
