Absolutely apt description. I was getting motion sickness looking at it.
Regarding the "scandal" about its new nomenclature, I am pretty ambivalent about it. One of my favorite BMWs of all times is the E24 M635CSi, and it's a little odd to see that badge slapped on to something that skews more MPV than something with a sporting pretense. But nothing stays the same, and with BMW and most automakers, now more than ever, is it especially true. There are things that BMW (and M Motorsports) are doing now which, while may make good business sense, are more of an assault on what I would consider BMW principles than this change in naming. Calling this new GT a 6er barely raises my ire.
If any of those test drivers had an ounce of decency in them, they'd come back from that test drive and say "sorry, boss, it handles like a dog on lino. Best quit now, eh?"
