Why my BMW stick to the road?
At the turn or corner, we can safely drive a bimmer at least 50% faster than the speed limit. I even feel the faster I accelerate at the turn on highway the more stable the car is. Why? What is the trick?

I've driven vehicles from many different manufacturer over the years. From my experience, German vehicles, not just BMW, handle much better than most others. Good vehicle handling is a priority for them, no tricks, they just engineer it into their vehicles. Remember, they they the Autobahn, so their vehicles are designed to handle well at speed. Even though the F25 handles very well, for what it is (tall heavy SAV), it doesn't compare to the handling of a lower, lighter, sportier cars like an M3, Z4, 911, S4, AMG, etc...
