Actually its not david's fault la, the 4-potter's are all doing an extremely good job in defending their lines ma.. ... from the following photos you can see... we are all using the entire width of the road to set our cars for the corners.... syiok! x 2 and thanks for the photos, we really missed the scenery.. too busy fending our lines..
To be honest, the 6-potters only have slight advantage and that's the straights, which is not many in this part of the country, in the corners they are all abang adik la.. none of us can accelerate more in the corners because DSC intervenes, most of the time...

But I personally think we all should find out the limits of our cars thru experience and discovery. There's a certain speed your BMW can take a particular corner, and hold that corner. Bring out the courage to find out what that speed is. =)
A little cornering tip I kinda developed myself. On the highway, if you see a speed limit (eg.60kph) near a corner, our cars can do double that (eg. 12Xkph), if not more. =D
Same applies to backroads/racing circuits with no speed signs, only that you have to push yourself to discover how fast your car can take the corners. Hehe.
Damnit, I'm such a cornering kaki. Haha.

I had the pleasure of driving a 320 Sport for a weekend and I found out that the car handles extremely well with sufficient power as a daily driving machine while fulfilling the need for occasional spirited driving. Needless to say driving down from Genting Highlands was a very pleasurable experience!!
The E90 320i is not like the previous e36 or e46 entry level machines which were a little soft and underpowered. Now everyone can experience all the driving dynamics of a BMW in a 320i
Cheers

Only when i floored it, it took a while before she could catch up, but it was pretty fast. yes it was a "she"... if it was a 36 or 46 320, it would hv been a slower catch up... I must say the E90 320i is quite torqie as i could see her catching up in my rearview mirror .. Worst of all, i was holding my steering pretty hard and trying to concentrate on the road at over 180km/h, i decided not to push further, so i maintained at a 180-190km/h and let her past, she look preety relaxed on the wheel wt a friendly smile overtaking me at that speeds...
