My Ride: E61 535d sport, Silver Grey/grey/maple. 20" Hartge Nova 7. Previously 19" staggered 172s

Perhaps the tourers have more weight over the back?
Or it could be to do with tyre types.

Other threads have commented on a more 'nanny' DCS after latest software though.

Have to say that when You have 180 on speedo (km/h of course!!) and one can see that yellow light have to be happy that it's there! This in Finnish winter, but in summer mine burn tyre till about 60 km/h!

I'm currently in Trondheim Norway and it has been slippery in here! Even with spikes 100 and that yellow light is not any special combination!

This car really teach You how to drive carefully and how to keep Your selve (and her) safe!
