Every generation is more isolated from road, more quiet, more refined and hence many feel that it doesn't handle as well etc. Road feel is decreased. Sometimes its just subjective feelings. Facts are that with very rare exceptions every gen. was faster (and as a rule more fuel efficient too at the same time).
I have no problem handling my x5 50i. I would only want stiffer handling on track, not on road. It's all relative - x5m handles like crap compared to go carts, but you wouldn't want to drive go cart like stiff poggy stick everyday right?

I hear what you're saying but I'm definitely on Team Steering Sucks for the non-DHP standard suspension owners. I can live with it but if the steering could just tighten up some, that would be great.
