Moved from e71 to f16 dissapointed

I moved from 2014 e71 50i to 2015 f16 35i. I do not feel safe when I drive fast. E71 seemed more sticky on the road. Turning wheel on high speed was more stable on e71. Rim size same. Tire size and brand same. Run flats. Who had both cars, how you feel it? F16 seems like mercedes dandles on the road.

I went from a 2013 E71 M to a 2016 F16 50i and hated it. The steering was loose, and the ride was floaty even in sport. I felt like I was all over the road. The curvy entrance ramps I used to love just weren't the same.

I previously had a 2010 E71 50i and the only difference between the M and the 50i was the HP. I opted for the 2016 50i because of something I didn't want was that was standard in the M.

In my opinion, It seems BMW watered down the driving experience to cater to the masses.

E71 to F86 is the proper upgrade path. Never downgrade...
