It's certainly not an excess of power, that's for sure. Predictable, nimble handling, nice weight to the controls - those are the things I'd say. Never driven a 6-cylinder E30 - would like to try one out to see how it compares.

Factors influencing the characteristic of a car, in order of influence is 1) the type of vehicle it is, i.e. car vs. truck 2) the era in which the vehicle was built and 3) the brand of the vehicle. This means a Datsun from 1970 is going to feel a lot more like a BMW 2002 than a BMW from 1995.
