I'm really sorry to hear all this. My GC's ride quality and handling are outstanding and that applies to lesser roads, such as gravel, as well as main roads.

The handling is about the same as my recent 2005 645Ci but the ride is superior. My only complaint is that a really good pothole will cause the suspension to bottom out.

The GC has 10,000 kms on it now, running 20 inch Dunlop RFs, has used no oil at all and I'm delighted - and mystified as to how others' experiences can be so different from mine.
