After five days in SoCal in a rented Corolla S

Suprgnat · 10-03-2013, 04:48 PM

It's good to be home to the 128. The Toyota was such a vanilla A to B conveyance, and the S bodywork is just lipstick on a pig.

Saturday it's off to Nuremberg. Maybe our rep there will let me borrow his car...

Oh, and it's good to be home with the wife, too.

I could thoroughly imagine going from a 128i to a corolla being BRUTAL lol

tell me about it lol I went back to the states on leave before my deployment and I was driving a 2013 Nissan altima and I thought that felt so cheap

I feel that way when I drive my wife's Honda CRV! No power, no handling, and to damn high up! On the other hand, I don't to haul bricks, straw, flowers, and what not's in my BMW.

The suspension response on that car was so unpredictable that when I had one as a loaner I had to pull over so my brother could throw up a bit out the door. Everything about that car was awful.

That said, the F10 5 series loaner I had was just about as terrible.

Same here, last two weeks have been miserable, had a car accident and crashed my BMW 128i. Have been driving a 2012 Camry SE , and I feel so lost in this car , no spirt to drive or excitement , not to mention , I feel like I'm going to eat shit if I go to fast.

Just spent 10 days in Australia in a Kia Caravelle soccer mom minivan with right hand drive. Boy was I glad to get back in my 128

Yes, many f10 owners are reported to regularly vomit out of their vehicles. BMW is looking into the issue.
