Comfortable, stately, and sporty enough. Fifty horsepower isn’t a lot these days, but it’ll provide a 7 second 0-60 time and top out at over 100 MPH. That’s a lot sportier than most econo cars. Max continuous RPM is only 7200, so it doesn’t scream and whine like the play racers.
A common endearing (or irritating, depending on your point of view) feature of the BMW airheads is a very optimistic speedometer. Hopefully the police models (mostly RT’s) had more accurate speedos, because if they clocked folks using the stock speedo, they would have written everyone speeding tickets.
