…….. depending on what year it was. I have had quite a lot to do with 3 series BMW’s over the last 20 years and I and my Yuppie friends have found them to handle extremely well. Admittedly, in this part Australia ice and snow are unheard of.
Maybe the Krauts are getting their own back on the good ol US of A by deliberately sabotaging all left-hand drive models?The main thing is you lived to tell the tale and you finally saw the light and got rid of it. I know if I had any car that behaved as you describe it would be gone immediately.
Also, I can’t ever remember a truck ever passing me unless I was stopped……. I know it is great fun passing road trains on bull-dust roads in South Australia, I’m not sure I could do it now with traction-control (unless it was turned off) because accelerating over 80kph on a dirt corrugated road does wonders for your back and teeth, not to mention hitting your head on the roof as you bounce your way along.
Lastly, guess what? Even doing 100 – 120 kph over a corrugated dirt road, the car NEVER, dare I say, “literally flew through the air†– but then again this is Australia and those things just don’t happen here in the southern hemisphere. I think maybe because the steering wheel is on the right-hand side of the car they not only handle way better but the laws of gravity actually apply.I am off to the beach now.
