Well, I think your test drive was on an early model. AS has been improved and feels great. Absolutely no problems and very direct steering, very intuitive. But AS was upgraded through software updates, so I guess you have been driving an early model without software updates.

DD doesn't feel awkward at all. You are connected to the road and you can also make the car tilt on corners. And if you wanna drift it's no problem...
almost two years ago i drove a 5 series with dynamic drive and as... since then every single one i have driven was without it


as for EDC, i dont have it on my 7 series

I really like the DD. Some of the streets up here in the mountains are so tight, you acn't afford any drifting unless you wanna crash with opposing traffic.
DD yllows to take those corners very tight and AS is just perfect for driving in those areas.

i see your point . but for me driving is about efford. I dont like computer aids interfering with my driving (except dsc of course)

Nice car. I just killed one yesterday.

Yeah right. Sweet dreams Iceman.
No 545 can beat an M3, not on the straight and not on the circuit. I bet the M3 driver was having as much fun as this dude in his clio.

Sorry the M3's had to go mate - it looked lovely and I'm sure it was fun.

You need to try to get a new one - I'm sure the 745li is nice - but you're way to young for it imagewise.

What sort of remap have you had done to the e60? DMS have told me they could get mine up to 260bhp and 565nm (I've got the 218bhp M57 engine)

And... why do you bang on about Mercedes so much when you've got access to such lovely BMW metal ?

i was told that the new M3 would be available to order at the end of the year so i would have it by february 2007. Alas now it loos as though it will be delayed until
2008 so i probably rushed a lot to sell it

Believe it or not.
Maybe the guy was a poor driver or it was Daddys car, I don't know. But he had no chance. He tried and failed...

Could be. But as u probably know the M3 is the faster car. So be aware next time.
