In Florida I don't encounter many twisty roads but I threw the car into some familiar curves as fast as I felt comfortable without looking at the speed. The F10 does body roll, which is disappointing in a "sport" package but the suspension stayed planted and actually did pretty well. I am definitely trying some aftermarket springs asap with a higher spring rate. Also need to close the tire to fender gap 2-1/4"? waaaay too much on this car IMHO. I avoided the Goodyear "bubble", its equipped with Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT's. I expected to hate these RF's based previous experience with Dunlop RF's on my '06 330i but these surprised me...so far. No they are not Michelin PS2's but I can live with these for awhile.. the wheels on the other hand, gotta go! Can't wait until 1200 miles and hammer it
Here a few pics of the new Space Gray 2011, the old 2008 Carbon Black 550i and a few of the '69

Excellent choices! I know this is a Bimmer forum but "Houston We Have A Problem" that SS 496 is off the charts.. The BowTie gods are proud...That's a Good Look -
