Also, I went from a B58 to the S55, and even on the S55 the torque comes in at higher RPM's than the B58. On my M2C, I'm almost always in manual mode on the highway to keep the engine from going into 7th outside of real cruising to avoid the RPM's dropping too low. The S55 is gutless at 1300 RPM's, as well. I wasn't expecting the S58 to change that other than likely having to avoid both 7th and 8th gear instead of just 7th. Joe's M2C is a manual, so perhaps he just doesn't realize that the situation with low-end power exists on the S55, just as much as it clearly exists on the S58.

I find the car a bit more comfy than my F80 Comp (even if I have to admit I prefer the driving position of the F80). Tire noise is still present but if you are used to F8x it is not that shocking. It still a M car after all
I think you have to live with the car for a moment to have a good idea of it. Like usual...
