I was able to test drive a MYP earlier today. A few questions on things I found surprising and different than a M3P I did a long term test drive of a couple year ago:
- Seat comfort: It was impossible to get the lumbar to retract to a comfortable position. Even when set to the smallest setting, it was like a bar pushing into my lower back—hours after the test drive and my back is still sore. Can anybody confirm if they can get lumbar to set completely flat (i.e., not able to be felt at all)?
- Throttle and steering touchiness: The throttle was extremely sensitive to the point that the car was difficult to drive. I didn’t get this in the M3P I drove before or a M3LR I drove immediately after the MYP. Does the throttle tip-in on these cars adapt to the driver to where the test drive car would have noticeably different response, or is the MYP just that much more sensitive? The steering ratio also seemed quicker than the M3 which surprised me and made the car a bit twitchy.
