Quick question though does the car still feel as nimble at the E82??
Yes, but in a slighty different way, at least in my limited experience so far. The steering feels very accurate, and I honestly like the "weight" of the steering in Sport +. I don't think I will spend much time in the other modes because you can feel the throttle response change (to me) in a negative way.

The main reason I moved from my E92 to the E82 was because I wanted a smaller, more nimble car. That was definitely accomplished with both of my 135s. In my review, I have said that the car looks closer to an E92, and in some way feels similar - but with one exception, the "nimble" feeling. It is very much E82 feeling in that way - at least so far.

Yes, you feel that it's bigger. But it doesn't feel sloshy or numb or like you're trying to park the moon as Jeremy Clarkson says. It's just bigger - but it has retained the precise nature in my opinion.
