Personally I think there's a lot to be said for the concept of 'driving a slow car fast', than 'driving a fast car slow', but it does depend a lot on the roads you're driving on.

9 seconds in a completely stessed out engine.
Thanks but no thanks. There is absolutely nothing to be found of a premium feel, or driving pleasure.

It reminds me of when I test drove a pension spec Huyndai i20.

Most dangerous car ther I have ever drive. On motorway slip roads I could read the alphabet in the tike it took it to reach 62mph.

Brake too hard in corners and it would be like losing speed and revs in Nissan Micra in Grand Turismo and having 5 opponents pass you on the straight.

It has to be a fun chassis though. A Miata, GR86, my E30, yes. The G31 520d loaner I had a few years ago in Germany, no way. Really missed driving a B58 while I was out there. Honestly the 6 Cylinder engines are one of the only things modern BMWs have going for them IMO.

I mean, maybe. Fun is quite subjective, after all.

That's an engine though. Are you saying the G31 wasn't a good chassis, but would have been good if it had a B58? That doesn't strike me as a chassis problem.

I'm interpreting it as "b58 makes it good enough to overlook the chassis issues"

What I am saying it isn’t a fun or engaging chassis, so with a B58 it at least has some redeeming quality (decent sound, lots of power). But even with a B58 it’s not a great drivers car. I would have kept my 540i longer if it was.
