The BMW’s real talents lay in its ability to make such a big car feel small and sit flat when pushed hard. The test left Sutcliffe pondering one big question: “Does the world need a car that can transport four at such high speed in such comfort for so much money?”                         Panamera vs rivals: pic special - Autocar.co.uk M
