I don't see the 5 series handling is better than the 335i...I think the 335i handled as well as my 545i.

I gave it an extensive test drive on the highway, 3 different drives actually...I didn't hear much noise at all. No noiser than my 5 series.

As far as the steptronic goes, It is much smoother than the step in my car. They made big improvements here.

By M-Pack you mean lowered suspension? I guess aerodinamical changes have no visible effect to handling whatsoever. What else I am missing?

I am not sure, are we talking about factory fitted option or aftermarket modification?

I am talking about the factory fitted option of corse If it only was aerodynamics why would people pay so much more for this option

I have no ideea. I have sport suspension and no M-Pack. But I will check again the list of options, as I don't think M-Pack here contains more than aero kit.
