And for you guys, calling a 535 "unstable" is totall non-sense. You think BMW would put a non-stable car on the market? lol

Funny, the first 530i that they tested back in Jan 04 had ARS, AS + Dunlop 18" RFT. They had this to say:
"But any car that corners as flatly as this by all rights should ride like a buckboard. It doesn't. It's fantastic how flat this 3756-pound sedan is able to corner. So fantastic, in fact, that we never realized how fast we were going."
"With a flat body, nearly perfect 50/50 weight distribution (thanks to extensive use of aluminum up front), and wide 245/40WR-18 Dunlop run-flats, our test car rocketed around the skidpad with minimal understeer at a stunning 0.90 g."
"In this 530i, BMW again combines sweet handling with a supple ride, enhanced by active roll stabilization." Csaba Csere
