The old e60 was a porker... but throw on another 400 lbs? ... At least they did it right with the 3 and made it lighter. Also... so much sound deadening they had to artifically pump engine music into the stereo? Just get rid of sound deadening in excessive areas, reduce weight, get more of a natural sound back. How hard can that be??? I get that this car is marketed towards old rich men that want to show off, but it is an M car, it should work hard to balance heritage between marketing/business growth.
2. Steering Feel
This is a trademark of M cars. The steering feel in the e46/e39 cars were already butchered with the e92/e60 cars, but even worse now? Someone needs to go back to the drawing board and discover the roots of why this is so important. What sets the car apart from the AMG's, the RS's.

It's a 5 series.. It's MEANT to be the most luxurious, with the 7 series being the limo style cutting edge v12 car
Any calls to remove deadening from an m5 only comes from people who don't know what the 5er should be
The 1 series is the lightest, least featured, it's nice entry level, it has less power but goes faster in a straight line AND around a corner
It's a throwback to the old e30 and e36 in a way. Heavier due to modern requirements but the lightest bmw offers and nice and compact. Younger people buy these generally
You get this if you want a bmw 'sports car' with the coupes being stupidly impractical (rear seats are rubbish!) - with the hatch upper specs being proper practical fun small cars (less practical than a vw or audi hatch though) , and having very large amounts of the 3 series inside, and styling (in mainly the front end)
The 3 series has more features, still well affordable, bit heavier, more room, more family friendly. The type of car everyone would reasonably be able to have
The 5ers are your real executive cars tons of features, super comfortable, smooth, tons of room, a bit porky, quiet
Then the 7 (skipping 6 a it's more of a 5.5 coupe lol) is your real ultimate luxury chauffermobile.
