in a way I agree w smalltomato that 1 will get used to it and get the info some somewhere else. that said, because of the level of padding + softer suspension, it gets harder to feel the vibrations transmitted through the chasis.
I think the 5ers always aim for the more comfortable segment so everything are softer compared to the models in the other ranges. but is kind of a bit strange when the 7er drives better than the 5er and at least in this part of the world, people buy a 7er probably are rich enough to hire a driver.

The F10 definitely has better quality, ride, built than our E60.
But the handling really disappointed me the most.
Hope i will get used to it

I agreed with you the 5ers was supposed to be comfy than the other range (apart from 7er). I always complain the E60 was too sporty compared with my mate's E39. (I mean before i changed the 19" wheels and suspension)
The F10 definitely has better quality, ride, built than our E60.
But the handling really disappointed me the most.
Hope i will get used to it

Blame no one on this, BMW's marketing department hear more voices for making the car more easy to handle (and much more conservative appearance in order make the F10 to sell like pancakes). Like I said before, it's all about business.

My Ride: carbonized MB coupe
your voices have been relayed to BMW.
JOY - in Hakka it means Dick, joy is for hippies......
Ultimate Driving Machine is still the best word!!!
sadly hippies and other people make up the most sales and we hardcore guys have to
look at >1m for M models, which are their idea of our Niche
