Like you are on rails... I know, it's an old cliche' but it fits. Precise, planted, balanced, tossable all come to mind. I would say an F1 Mclaren has excellent handling properties.
FYI The BMW 335 is not my favorite car on a road course either.
As soon as it warms up, hit a few PCA Autocross events and get an instructor in your car. You will learn a ton.
