Brakes

Interested to see how you feel about the brakes after a bit more driving. My impression was very similar to yours above in the early days. After a couple situations that required fairly hard braking, I came to consider it a different feel more than a different capability. Something like there is a broader "light" or "soft" zone, but if you really want to stop you get BMW brakes if press further. Certainly the numbers must not be as good as a sedan or an M3, but I think it stops like a BMW and far better than I thought from the early days. Definitely a different feel to the vehicle as it does it, though. The movement makes the stopping feel more dramatic and less controlled than it did in the sedan. I think some of that is real, but a big part of it is just the different perception/sensation the greater movement creates.

Interested in what you find.
