Last thing I want is M car becoming a poser car for people who cannot drive. It should be the car inspiring one to be a better driver by encouraging drivers to push the limits with visceral sensation. Stick with normal BMWs for smooth operating cars.

You are right. A lot of complaining about the ZF8 in the M5 and X3 M and X4 M. The complaints will continue with the new M3 and M4 next year. They will also complain about the weight gain and people being negative about the grille.
