But absolutely nobody would argue the F/G chassis cars are more driver-focused than their predecessors. You can't replace the classic BMW formula of Inline 6, tight communicative steering, RWD bias architecture, and manual option. BMW makes some of the best vehicles in its respective segments, but their distinguishing character is all but gone. Drive them side-by-side with comparable Audis and Mercs and there's little difference.

BMW's manual's have always felt very rubbery to me but I've just chalked it up as what makes a BMW a BMW. Also, anyone who says the F/G chassis cars are more driver focused is most likely a Zoomer with no experience driving older BMW models.
