I drove a 545 and I think the Car & Driver review was spot on. The car was fast, but felt detached. It was too quiet, the steering felt numb, and it had an auto tranny which added to the sense of luxury over sport.

That said, I would think the M treatment would solve most of those problems. What it won't solve is that the new 5 is quite a large car... as the salesman told me it's more a small 7 than a large 3.
