So, problem with drive on speed 180-200.
Car living her life. Сar go from one side to another side of road. Forward weels, like in the air, no jn the road.
My friends tell me 3 variants:
1 - Airdynamik(M-pak + AS rear spoiler) I think it's true
2 - Weels Danlop SP9000 245/45-R18
My car: 26 000km, 1.6 year.

I agree. Sounds like tramlining. There's nothing wrong with the car, it just needs better roads, due to wide, low-profile tires.

Try reducing the front tyre pressures a little. I find my car very sensitive to tyre pressures (19" OEM 166's, PS2's nonrft), the result being that the car feels like it's caught in a bad cross-wind.

Get 225/50 17" non RF tyres (Bridgestone Potenzas) and the spare.
Note also that the tyre pressures should be at max or more when speeding above 200 km/h!

So friends, I visited diler.
"It's truble all series(E87, 90-93, 60). Very light constukshion(1570kg) and wing+not ideal rouds give this effekt(((.
Today go on Kievskaia motorway(ideal roud for hight speed in Moscow) and my car...... Looks not very good again
Mayby it's real spoiler????

I have the same ACS spoiler at the back and I have done over 230km in the car and it had been OK but my are 19" not 18", so it maybe is the road and not the spoiler.
Also check your wheels psi, like the other guy say must be high for these kind of speed

I changed from RFT's to regular tyres and on East European roads it really does help. The sidewalls are much less stiff and adapt to the valleys and ridges that the trucks have pounded into the roads.

Do you know the car's history - any crash repairs? Is it definitely straight?

In Blacky5's case it is the tyres!
The E60 just don't work nicely on shitty roads with RF 18" tyres.
The car weight has nothing to do with it nor the "missing" rear spoiler.
