malvern hills

Thanks for that. I'll have them bushes checked while having the shocks sorted. Cheers Chris.

Ah ha! Sorted it's a knackered front shock absorber. can't wait to see how much better it will handle with that fixed, phew! I take back any criticism of BMW, it might sharpen up the steering too.

I love the oh so silky smooth engine which I swear sings to you and even the gear box which although an auto does some intelligent things like intuitively changes down and therefore engine brakes for you when going down steep hills (how does it do that)? The way the traction control works is mind boggling and very clever. The car feels very solid and just shouts quality at you and I like the understated look of the thing. I'm not so sold on the steering which seems to lack "feel" somehow infact it's got more the feel of a Lexus not what I would have thought from BMW but I can live with that. My main concern is the handling, there is more body roll than I'm used to and I feel the car car needs to be closer to the ground and the suspension stiffened up. Thanks for the wellcome and I'm still struggling to upload a pic. Cheers Chris

Hi all I have just become the owner of a 1999 BMW 328i sedan e46 after years of driving an r34 Nissan Skyline GTT. The BMW is immaculate and a real tribute to the owners that had it before me but quite a different beast to the Skyline. There are a few things about the stock BMW that I'm not totally happy with and hope people on this forum might be able to help me with some advice on how to rectify them. Will post a pic ASAP. Cheers Chris
