Broad powerbands are a big part of it, but again...
Best part is 95% of BMW drivers I've met (and I've been active on forums for years) couldn't drive their way out of a wet paper bag, yet they're all gods gift to driving under a very thin veil of humility. Lotus guys on the other hand, are usually humble about their driving abilities, and tend not to talk down about other cars. Interesting how either a car's community will corrupt you (or maybe those people are just attracted to those cars?)
