of couse but it is close to it
if you what a true "Performance" car then it got to be lotus or atom or xbow or super 7
for some ppl like me I what 50/50 not over or under for a big 4 door.
50% sport and 50% comfort.
right now it is almost there.
as we all know the best car for this with out any big mods is Small Tomato car. 50/50

No, if you need a performance car, you should go for a 135i.
F10 535i only offers you the minimal compromise with this mid-size car segement.

Come to think of it, who needs a performance car for everyday driving?

so higher number is not the best 1
so this is not a replacement for the ps2
