[QUOTE="Rayhwc, post: 632704, member: 23396"] I had the pulling to the left from day 1 on the Conti rft. It is obvious on the highway which I drive every weekend on to Seremban. Hence it bugged me no end. Changing to PSS lessened the problem by about 60-70% actually. It still drifts but takes longer before you are on the other lane. The car tracks nowhere as straight as the other cars I have been driving, ie Camry, E39 or the Audi Q5 (FWD, RWD, AWD), but because it is so much better than before, I am much less bothered by it. When AB did the alignment (on the Conti), they referred to a printout which they said shows that everything is within specifications eventhough the drift was still apparent. Back to the topic of the thread, I think the F10/11 is a good balance of comfort and performance, somewhat like the old E39. To me that is a better balance than Audis (generally too stiffly sprung so not so comfortable) or Mercs whose engine is not as "keen" as BMWs (although ride-wise similar to BMW). All this makes the BMW a good choice, while issues like those mentioned are not enough to make we want to choose something else...yet! :) [/QUOTE]
