The part that I COMPLETELY agree with is the part about the throttle tip-in. The first 5 series I drove was my friend's 03 540i M Sport and that thing SCREAMED (as they said in the article about the e34 5 series) and that was one reason I was excited to get my 550 M Sport... only to realize that the tip-in is just as they described it on the GT. Sure, I can put it in sport mode which starts it in 1st gear as opposed to Drive which starts in 2nd, but that only affects the acceleration and not the tip-in.

I want it to be as if a friend were to drive my car and press the gas and just be completely stunned by it (which always happened in my friend's 540 but has not happened to the same degree with my 550). Guess it's time for a Sprint Booster!
