Was eager to make this trip as I wanted to test the diesel torque while going up hill. Used the Simpang Pulai road and was in D during the initial run. Torque was sufficient even in D mode. Once I shifted to DS mode everything got exciting (used mostly D3 & D4 & occasionally D2 over tight corners). Overall, overtaking and going uphill was a breeze and the car did not feel strained nor out of breath even for a moment. Rev meter stayed below 3000rpm most of the time. However, I was a little careless in one of the corners and the back went out of line for a split second. The car electronics took over briefly to ensure that I was pointing in the right direction. Gotta thank BMW for that if not I could have ended in the ditch. FC is fantastic, came back covering 630km with slightly less than half a tank left. OBC still reads another 450km before refueling required.On my way downhill, trailed a Honda Accord, Vios & a Merc C200 CGI. Noticed that I brake far lesser and later into corners. Worse was the Vios and Accord. Car seemed to be leaning all over the place at every corner but I was finally beaten by a lorry driver. I guess nothing beats experience in the corners. Haiz!</blockquote>
