pics are all old I believe but nice read nonetheless
And I think it's gotten to the point where steering criticism has matched steering praise - so I'm not even sure what to think about that anymore. Then again, there were MANY points in that review that conflicted with other stuff we've read.... Last edited by nechronics; 08-10-2007 at 09:56 AM.. |

With its good steering feel, correcting was no big deal. BMW's Servotronic steering dials in power assist according to the car's speed, and it's helpful to make longer highway jaunts more relaxed. In general the steering is crisp and direct, so put that in its credit column, too.
If and when you do saddle in for a ride in the M3, count on a very different experience from the gnatty buzz of the first one and the slicker, suaver second and third-gen cars. Also count on wanting one. Best regards, south |

Base suspension
Thanks for the post--pretty well-written.
It will be interesting when base suspension cars become available for testing and they can be compared to the EDC system. The added cost and complexity of the adjustable system will not be worth it for some, I'm sure.

I like Winding Road's review better. Any idea on cost of the EDC system?

EDC price
In Germany it's €1900 + €520 for MDrive. Bound to be less in the US.

Base suspension in US?
Yes, definitely. They will want to keep the base price down.

EDC
Where is EDC standard? Not in Germany, not in South Africa, not in Canada, and I guarantee it won't be in the US--raises the base price too much. It's Option Code 223. I'm aware that MDrive is a different set of features for tailoring steeering, throttle and suspension response.

Australian cars fully loaded
Hi GregW, the only options available for the Australian cars are 19", high-end Audio, extended leather and comfort windscreen. Everything else is standard on the car and the base price has been quated here as AUS$157,000.
It has been the trend with BMW Australia bringing the high-end models fully loaded and not leaving much room to move. Given the car is fully loaded, and it is not much off a fully loaded 335 coupe the base price is a fair ask. |
