I don't fully understand why BMW can't get it right first time these days, needed the suspension mods to the E60 at facelift time, also the E90/1 cars had damper revisions which improved the suspension.
I don't believe they really understand UK road construction. I'm aware the E90 3-series cars were tested over here, they came north as far as Inverness I understand. My dealer in Perth was aware of them using the A9, but I asked if they left the A9 and used some of the more taxing roads in the north west Highlands. They didn't believe so. If that is correct, then they didn't really even get on the complex roads some of us use. The A9 is a typical 'good' trunkroad, (in most places). It is once off that kind of surface that cars really get interesting, as to whether they work welll, or are a bunch of compomises that result in a dynamic mess. The E39 was very good indeed, across a broad spread of roads.
