It seems that many people find the F10 very difficult to control at speeds over 100mph (160Km/h).

In my own experience (with a 535i and a 525d) the difficulty increased proportionally with the speed until the cars were very difficult to control and I had to slow down for safety.

Both cars I've test driven had the most basic steering and suspension. I for one am interested to find out if that behaviour manifests for all the F10s or just some of them. I'd also like to try to cross-check with the type of steering and suspension.

Please let me know if this issue was or not present with the F10 you have driven and what type of steering/suspension the car had.
I'm also curious to find out if any one had this solved (software update?!).

Thanks for the help!
There arent many days I dont run my 550i up to 150/160mph. Although I have been told by friends that PS2 are an improvement, I still have my original RFT's and have never felt a lacking in the steering/suspension. I am very please with my F10 550i handling performance, maybe it has to do with my build options and/or ACS springs.
