It has been a couple of weeks since I put on the ACS springs and took off the Eibachs. Tonight, I finally took my 550i out for a proper test drive at a curvy mountain road (for the Hong Kong members, the notorious TMS)

Many consecutive turns and tight near-hairpins. I had my F10 in SPORT mode all the time. All I can say is WOW The car is a real sport sedan! Very planted even at speed in excess of 80km/h for most turns!

I had my friend drive it back down and he cannot believe the F10 handles that well! Very confident at every corner like it is on rails! Verdict is that it is definitely not a 3, but the F10 handles like it is somewhat smaller than it looks!

But then, I do have DHP and IAS and I have PSS on. So your mileague may vary. But all in all, way better than the Eibach before!

So there you go! Put on ACS and PSS! The F10 handles great with those!
