The answer is "D" all of the above. It is a straight 6, another reason I have never craved A BMW although I have allways rated handling as highly as power. The BMW straight 6 is so smooth & linear with it's power delivery it reminds me of my mom's sewing machine. Next of course is the interior. I test drove 2 Z3s & a Z4 before buying my Box. Every BMW 3+ years old I drove had delaminating vinyl surfaces & the tiny control buttons remind me of small plane interiors. Also drove a 99 M3 conv which was nice but I had driven many Boxsters at that point so it was not a contender. Oh, when the 1st drifting competition in the USA came to CA in 2003 I rented a 2003 330I conv for the competition. Like most BMW's it seemed to have the ultimate combination of comfortable ride & great handling suspension. I had a blast drifting it, but had to withdraw from the last round when I saw cords showing on the inside edge of the RR tire. Since that time I have driven several BMWs, mostly 5 or 7 series, & the newer the BMW the greater the loss of feel to the driver. Mostly throttle, steering, & transmission response time.
