It's fine driven hard but is absolutely HOPELESS in the transition from light throttle to off throttle to light/medium throttle. More jerky than a Caribbean chicken.
I think the one in the E84 four bangers was badly programmed. Our 6s in the 35i felt wildly better. But while I hated our follow up F30, that 8s was easily the best part of that car. I think it comes down to programming, and from my experience BMW mailed it in on the E84 but got it right on the F30.
