I came out of my second m50 test drive, first was with all season tires, second with performance tires, both 19". I have no clue what they're taking about. My m340i x drive was very similar to the way this car handles, and the weight is not as apparent as they're making it to be, on the contrary, it feels very nimble. I'm sure if you put it on a track the weight will show, but regular street driving, like they showed in the video, it doesn't.
The range comment just doesn't hold water, the m50 has been tested in very much less than ideal traffic conditions and not driven conservatively at all including in close to freezing temperatures, and the range drop is nowhere near what they were implying.
And nitpicking words from a press release? Give me a break, two thumbs down on their review.
