[QUOTE="M3@Apex, post: 2672112, member: 573277"] I would actually have to agree with this guy. The thing I don't like about new BMW's is their lack of road feel. I feel every bump in the road, and my steering is tight and the steering wheel you need some muscle to turn it. I don't like the detached road feel of many of the new cars out there. I love my car because it's unlike anything I've ever driven. For its time in 97, it as the best handling car in any price range (according to Road and Track beating the NSX, F355, etc), but the car IS quite old now. Definitely in a straight line I have no chance against many many cars out there. I do think BMW is still more performance oriented than AMG is though, just for the simple fact that I don't think many AMG cars come with a true manual gear box. The same can be said for BMW in their M5 and M6, but I believe they're releasing normal manuals soon for those cars (at least for the M5 anyways). Of course all our reasoning is biased :P [/QUOTE]
