AMG steering and handling has improved majorly while learning to keep the big massive engines they are famous for. I'm guessing Bmw is trying to get a curve on future emission standard with the new M3/M4. I I'm sure they figure if Porsche can build such amazing cars all these years with a 6er then they can too. Plus it will be nice to get over 20mpg for a change! This X5m is killing me having to stop at the gas station every day can't wait till the lease is up! Had a X1 over the weekend as a dealer loaner and it was nice not to have to get gas for 4 days. Hoping M3 will be more like this with the performance of the e9x

I agree. Starting with the LCI C63 in 2012, which received an entirely revamped suspension (along with some other notable tweaks), AMG as a brand began focusing more on well-rounded cars (while still making it a priority for each AMG model to have more horsepower and torque than its M counterpart).
I think this strategy has pushed BMW M to become even more aggressive in its approach. The stiffer the competition, the better for us, the consumers.
It sounds like you have quite an impressive stable my friend.
