And here's the funny part, it does all of those things BETTER than the G8x, another car which I loved and still appreciate. So yes, its FWD which carries more stigma than real drawback as a street driven vehicle. The FL5 just fits in with the other cars in my garage perfectly. As an only car, I would maybe take another M5 but really for real....a truck.
The bold part for effect. I've voiced this before and there's always a refrain. You're not convincing the anti-FWD crowd. There's absolutely no way you'll be able to reason with them, so it's an exercise in futility trying. The FWD thing has sort of taken on a life of its own much like the anti-EV sentiment parroted by so many of the nerds on this forum. The bottom line is: you like what you like, and they like what they like.
