We have one. It's a convertible though.

The ride is comfy; much better than the e92's. The power isn't bad, but it's not impressive. It's more than satisfactory for overtaking and spirited driving. Body roll is actually very well kept in check. I think it has to do with the active roll stabilizers or something like that. We have active steering which, despite being an old version, is necessary for a car of its size (imo). The exhaust is too muffled, but I'm sure any kind of aftermarket work would make it sound amazing. The interior is a bit below what you'd expect for a car of its pricetag (considering buying new that is), and they addressed this with the 650i MY facelift. There's a few features missing, like iPod access I believe. The transmission isn't bad, but there aren't any paddle shifters, and it's hardly what you'd call aggressive in DS, so use D or M. Surprisingly, the backs seats are less useful than the e92's.

It's not a bad car in any way, but I would consider multiple other options within its price range.
