this is my theory.

the TL is sacrificing too much ride comfort. Its achieves the handling at a cost of a bone crushing ride. But for a RWD car such as bimmer, G35, M35, you can have a softer suspension setup and at the same time have the same level of handling.

Have been riding on an uneven brick-paved street, in my TL and in a friend's 99 BWM 528i, that is a hell of difference!

Start to think about saving up for a M35 in a few years. hoho....
