Yeah, I had a '09 328 yesterday for a loaner and I hated the car.... The dealership called me because they had to special order a part and asked if I wanted to leave my car overnight....I couldn't take the 328 anymore and told them that I wanted my car back and would bring it back another time to get the work done...that's how much I hated it.

Actually I was living in NY at the time, and as some of our brethren can attest there are some great twisites up around Bear Mountain. As for Cali? You really need to come here and see the Angeles Crest Highway - oooh, twisties EVERYWHERE!!!
+ Malibu Canyon
+ Frazier Park to Ventura (nobody really know about this one...found it when I got lost)
+ Placerita Canyon to Sand Canyon Rd. (short but fun)

At least you did not have the displeasure of driving what is probably the worst handling car made, the Toyota Crapry(camry). It was scary-bad. I can understand why I see so many accidents with this car involved. Doing the speed limit in the turn was an adventure with the understeer.

I've driven the newest Camry and I agree they are not very firm rides compared to sports sedans ( and they are not suppose to be ) but not to the extent as you describe.

That makes absolutely no sense.
, maybe it wasn't broken in.Before I got my 5, I considered getting a 3 but never drove it...after having it for a day, i appreciate getting the 5 imo.
