According to the review it's still a soft riding car, even in sport mode.

EVO says the 530d in particular is excellent. I think the chassis bodes very well for the M5. The well rounded nature of this car is what will make it a success: - - - What’s it like to drive? The 530d xDrive is an astoundingly capable car. Sheer capability alone isn’t usually the stuff evo gets excited about, but the G30’s core qualities and breadth of abilities generate a slow-burn satisfaction that’s surely the stuff of a rewarding long-term relationship, day in, day out. Our car had the combination of variable dampers and standard 18in wheels, and this eliminates the occasional tremors from each corner felt on a car shod with 19in rims. In fact, the ride comfort is superb, easily a match for luxury cars at two or three the times the price. The ‘shell feels immensely stiff, but the key according to the engineers has been to increase the localised stiffness around the sub-assemblies and suspension mounting points. It's certainly worked: this is splendid isolation. But the 530d has another side: the electrically assisted steering is well judged, with an easy-going predictability that means you soon take steering the car for granted. Push harder, and in Sport – or even the optional Adaptive function that cleverly pre-empts what setting the car might need by some horrendously complicated 3D mathematical model – and the 530d responds in kind. The rear-wheel steering means the car turns into the corner far more keenly than you’d expect, and it’s possible to be unfailingly precise with where you place it on the road. |

i really like that this was an evolution of the f10 by including the g11 features. it didnt immediately date my f10 but it makes me want to go test drive this. I would want the 540i in msport with xdrive. i think it'll sell well and a lot of prelci f10 owners like myself will gravitate to this.

I'm just the opposite. I think BMW was too conservative with evolution vs revolution. I'm intrigued with the G30, but not aching to get rid of F'10 for one - not at all. But I guess part of the reason is I'm LCI F'10...
