if you say all those problems with the s54 engine were solved then why do they continue to pour into dealers for spun bearings? as of 2 months ago... it doesnt take 3 years to fix a problem does it?
i said it's BEING taken care of. not has BEEN taken care of. The problem with the bearings was that because they weren't manufactured to the right standards, they prematurely wore out. And yes it can take 3 years to fix a problem. there are still first gen M60 V8s that are being replaced under warranty because the notification letter was either not recieved or disregarded. OR they just never made/showed up for the appointment to have the recall carried out. And i haven't seen one with a spun bearing yet, but i'm sure they are out there. so thanks for exaggerating :roll:

go ahead, drive an m5 and an m3 on the same road, at speed, what happens? the m5 is somehow more stable at the elevated speed... wow a shocker..
The M5 feels more stable because of the double pivot front suspension that controls the deflection in the front end. The Servotronic helps out alot with the 5 by controlling the amount of steering effort you have to put in at high speeds. The 3 didn't get Servotronic
