Not to stray too far off topic, but I was just reading an auto mag comparison of the 5 Series-based Gran Coupe, the S7 and the CLS. The writer said "This is what the F10 5 Series should have been from day one." "Forget this Gran Coupe nonsense -- just call this thing the 5 Series and let the current car quietly fade from memory."

The car's just too expensive to be a 5er.
Saw a new fully loaded blk/blk S7 with the same diamond pleated seats but it had the upgraded 20" rims...stunning combo and that engine is supposed to be a monster.
I'm sure the GSF has BMW engineers working overtime on the new 5 model and the facelift that's due out in July still may not be better than our FS's.

To set the record straight, the GS is not getting a facelift in July...

I'll try putting it in neutral next time it happens and see if it makes a difference...

Yes, and it still won't surpass the GS IMHO

True, lots of little things but a big change in steering feel.
Did you read the Acura tire article, our problem may be tires after all. I have a feeling if they road force balance your tires the problem will be gone.
