[s-cars] My butt momentarily in a BMW

[Taka Mizutani]

You know, you guys are pretty funny- of course an E92 335i is going to
handle better than an E39 M5- still a significant difference in weight, with
the E39 being nose-heavy as well as having recirc. ball steering as opposed
to rack and pinion in the E92.

Everyone is implementing AWD in several lines of cars, no surprise that
people are catching up to Audi.

I like the E34 in terms of 5 series- still feels pretty "light" driving, not
like the heavy-feeling E39.

930 definitely trumps all. I hate you.
