The height and cabin dynamics will fool those used to the line-up you show in your stable (F80, F87C, GT3, Mk7 GTI). But the numbers don't lie. And these are fully documented as you know.

For some of us, that is the beauty of what BMW has been able to design with this series (F97/98). It seems to defy Physics with what it can do, and provides an all-in-one for those wanting M performance and also needing utility. In a perfect world, yeah, four- or six- car garages with small performance coupes to provide the performance kick and then daily all-arounds might be ideal, but not all of us have the finances to go that route. This is one vehicle which can satisfy both.

And this one does.
