That's a hell of a smoke show at the beginning. I didn't think traction control was ever that far "off" even in sport plus, so that was nice to see. Think this is a manual car?

Why can't the f80 philes just accept some folks extremely value the aural experience of driving which includes feel and sound? I am one of them. F80 is a nice car but their is way further elements of importance for my daily spirited drive than pure power

Spoken like someone who's never experienced 400+WTQ... Perhaps you're familiar, but I'd listen to an exhaust note that sounded like a crying infant before I'd accept 40% less wheel torque.

Huh? I see a plethora of S65 guys (I'm one) show up in threads with something negative to say regarding the F8x/S55, in particular the way it sounds. The inverse is rare.

What you do mean "feel"? If you're talking about e9x steering, that isn't really something I'd brag about. Hydraulic or not.

Think the squirrely-ness is Tiff trying out the feel of the car and warm the tires up...he is a phenomenal driver.

You are not.

I'm most curious as to what Randy Probst has to say.

i need a tiff needell official review.

pkimM3r · 07-06-2014, 03:04 PM

im sure the car sounds good from the cabin with active sound.

i drove a friends 428i and thought wth this sounds good? later to find out from my brother that i was tricked

it did sound good inside though regardless if it was fake or not.
