On the updside - the sport seats are a huge improvement over my X5's and Z4's sport seats in overall comfort, the 8 speed transmission is awesome, and the motor is pretty sweet with good throttle response.

Maybe I should upgrade the springs - what is on the market???
You should upgrade your attitude. Give hte "ladies car" bit a rest. My lady can out drive you without wasting a thought and isn't looking for light steering to do it (she's not wild about changing tires, though). Then try driving the car and adjust your errant assessment.
