You are calling E92 a lightweight car?

I think most disappointment comes from the car not being a great "M5". It is a great car to newcomers and a decent car in the segment for journalists to review, but F90 has nowhere the impact that E39 and E60 had when they launched, especially when you remember that E60 had been compared to F430 in terms of character by JC on Top Gear.

It was sure a surprise to hear that steering feel is numb on the new M5 though. I thought they'd at least get these right having used the same engine and less characterful transmission.
