So I drove a BMW 540i M-Sport last night...

And it’s a really great luxury car. Other than throwing some //M badges on it, there’s no real sporting pretense whatsoever.

Silky smooth drivetrain and ride, though I wasn’t overwhelmed by the power (DD’ing a 400 hp V8 will do that to you...).

Didn’t drive it hard (owner in the passenger seat), but steering was firm and 100% without feel, and the car felt pretty heavy.  I suspect the cornering limits are reasonably high, but it won’t be that much fun to toss it around.
