Amazing review - I liked it that they compared it straight to a 7-speed DCT CS.

The only slight disappointment was the weight difference of 321lbs.

But lets put it in context a bit. They tested the heaviest possible G87 configuration, with steel roof, sun roof, ZF8, standard seats. Vs the lightest possible version of the F87 - CS with carbon brakes.

Equalizing for carbon roof + carbon seats + carbon brakes - weight difference is more like 200lbs. Still a lot, but less dramatic.

They were gaga over better handling, acceleration, braking and ride composure.

Also note how they described the steering: "the superb variable-effort/variable-ratio electric power-steering system" - first time I have seen such praise for BMW's steering since they went electric assist.

I'm stoked. I can't wait to get my M2.
