CAR magazine: "Don't bother, I'll handle it"
Anyone read the review of the E90 330 in CAR magazine? They said some pretty negative stuff about how uninvolving the car is. They said it's faster, smoother, handles better, yet is very uninvolving, like the driver is just along for the ride. They said the 3 series is losing it's roots.
They also said some positive stuff, like the car sounds great from the outside.

Automobile also used the word 'uninvolving.' Of course, being a US publication, they were much nicer about it. There was also a comment about how less involving the E46 was over the E36.

i think from everything i have read...it does sound like there is quite a bit of electronic devices to help keep the car pointed in the right direction...but it sounds like a lot of these things can be shut off....

But they didn't say the car was any better with DSC turned off.
A lot of competitors are no longer allowing you to disable the computer - the new GTI and new Lexus GS for example - have a layer of computer control that is not defeatable, and enthusiast magazines have complained about those two cars.

I was talking to a friend of mine who knows someone (not a car enthusiast) that just got a E60 with it, and is about ready to get rid of it over this feature. It seems pretty universally the one new BMW thing that all mag writers complain about (even over iDrive, which some people actually like).
