Amen!
All the articles point to great improvements with the car with some suspension work and some easy engine tuning..

They made the 1 series overly conservative in its handling (see: understeer) which is why it loses just about every performance comparison test out there.

I love the concept of the 1 series, but the execution leaves much to be desired. If this is the final variant, I feel it will not only dominate the competition, but will finally be the 1 that everyone wanted in the first place.
