I used to drive 130-155 every day, and the car constantly felt good.

I know she has always put the highest octane possible and does oil when recommended. I don't know about other maintenance BMW recommends. I've driven a car with slightly warped rotors and it didn't feel quite like this. I'll check the tires tomorrow and report back.

BMW's maintenance is a fucking joke. It's just a marketing ploy and should not be followed. When I bought my first 328 it didn't receive an oil change for the first 18,000 miles, because BMW said so... Also octane isn't the issue, it's Tier classes. I filled up with a whole tank of STP 93 octane and boy did my 335 hate it. Lost power... These cars are very picky with fuel, especially the 335s.

On the BMW, the brakes started to feel like they wanted to lock up and the steering went from tight and precise to loose and semi-uncontrollable. When I began to slow down, the steering took a hard veer left and the brakes became very sticky. The engine seemed to struggle as it hit 90. In full automatic mode it refused to up shift and stayed above 5k revs.

On the Accord, the steering did lose some of its precision but overall felt the same. The brakes on the Accord did not act any differently then at lower speeds. Also the Accord was doing around 3k revs at 130 and felt like there was plenty of power to spare.

I don't have anything against the BMW for being a sports car but this seems a little strange to me.
Has anyone else actually tested their BMW's potential and had better results?
i was switching lanes at 145. felt like it could have gone more.

Don't feed the troll.

BMW and most German cars were built for the autobahn. Mine felt rock solid at 150mph when I did euro delivery.

Nothing to see here- just a troll. Move along, or ask him how many times his AC compressor in his CR-V has exploded.
