Everything now is just fast, silent or terrible sounding, and super synthetic feeling. I also hate the way this car looks but that's just me
I think the styling and tech are fine, but I agree about cars like the E90, E87, E70, etc. being the last "visceral" cars not only from the ///M division but the company itself. Those cars had a very close connection with the road. Nowadays everything feels too refined and as you said, synthetic.

The newest 5-series and all their SUVs are at the top of their respective segments. But they don't get me excited. Some Bimmers like the M240, 440, M2, and M3/4 still have my attention despite not being as good as their predecessors.
