9:30am for me

And the Mercedes steering felt like limp noodle... zero feedback on the back esses.

The drive select in dynamic mode is certainly pretty interesting, although I think I still prefer just the regular sports suspension.

I respect what Audi is trying to do but driving the 3 series back to back with A4, you still get the feeling that the 3 is tighter around the turns with more tuned chassis that give you the feeling that you can push it more. And that's with a 328ix which has no sports suspension. A4 with sports suspension AND drive select maybe closer to what BMW is doing with just straight up sports suspension.
