I do agree abt the vibrating steering wheel. But I always thought it's the feel with all 1 series. I tested a 120i hatch, same vibrating feel when drive over pot holes. It will keep vibrate a little bit even after passed the hole.

do u guys feel the same? Anyway to limit the vibration?

This has been posted on several threads and the general reaction is WTF Jeremy Clarkson?

I think that's the general response to at least half of what he says.

No vibrations with my 135i

His reviews are purely for entertainment purposes. The whole article is littered with hyperboles, so I wouldn't take too much notice.

Still a funny read though.

Agreed, Jeremy is a great Journo... very entertaining and intelligent... even if he sometimes is too entertaining....

Speaking of entertaining. Does anybody remember his Ford Fiesta review on Top Gear. "Aye look at that! The smoke grenades fit perfectly in the cup holders!"

Clarkson is good for being entertaining and that means he needs to be controversial sometimes... he slammed the M Coupe http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/dri...icle625530.ece...

yet in the Top Gear Magazine the M Coupe is rated 18/20... highest ranking out of all the BMWs...

I love to watch him on Top Gear... went to Sydney to watch him live... great entertainer... I just wouldn't take him too seriously. If you are happy with your car, that is all that matters.
