The non-sport, non-dynamic 535 I drove just felt "heavy". Steering seemed OK, but not as sharp as my E90, but my overall feeling walking away from the car was that it needed to lose 250 lbs or more. The N55 moves it along, but at least on the one I drove, was no hot rod. Weight is increasingly killing BMW performance. Let's hope the F30 comes in lighter than the E90, especially if they are going to put mostly four cylinder engines in it.
