I have to say that the active steering in the 535i definitely helped the car feel smaller when parking. Certainly the suspension feels more tied down and is not as plush as the 535i. Not harsh. Just not as plush. As for steering. The M5 still has a hydraulic rack and is noticeably better in feedback. But I think the best feature is the HUD. And the instant rush. Will need 2 rear 20” tires soon at the rate this carries on. ? 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wondered if someone was taking the piss. Then clicked about reading about someone building something like that somewhere! ? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lidistick 70 Report post Posted July 21, 2019 I’ve figured it out. MFM means MotherF******Monster. ? 16.2L/100kms on a drive to Oakura Bay via Old Russell Road. Superb road. No such thing as a straight. No traffic at all which was a bonus. Get to drive past the Russian’s place at Helena Bay. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
