the 550 handles better, but maybe because I don't have Active Steering. the tires are Runflats.

One thing I noticed this morning, is a rough idle when i first start the car, cold or warm. takes a good 20 seconds to smooth out. this can't be normal.

Hi Wassy,

Mine does the same, but I'm not worried. Maybe its break-in related. I'll mention this to the dealer tomorrow when I drop off the car.

Crap, I thought this was related to CIP 19. Mine stumbles like crazy if I back it out of the garage without waiting 30 seconds. Plus the MPG drops REALLY bad as well (you can watch it drop, no matter how many miles you have on the tank) - like gas is pouring out of the exhaust (one tip is completely black on the bottom). I'm at about 1,800 miles.
