Just read Autocar, paper version, of F11 test. And yet again they say BMW will tune the chassis for the UK. That's twice now, as this has been the F10 also.

I email BMW UK, in April to ask when these changes where due, and got this reply "We have not yet received information on any revised/fixed suspension for non-VDC cars and the M-Sport availability is also yet to be confirmed." The key point here is they do not deny what Autocar said in April - that changes are coming. BTW - its clear M-Sport is now on its way!

There is clearly a very big issue with the F10/F11 on UK roads and also the 5GT. The F01 also got poor reviews. This is not looking good for BMW in the UK. Sit on your money and wait - a mid life updated XF is the fall back.
