2007 G35S vs 2010 M35X vs 2017 GSF

I'm not sure about M550. I have to test it to find out. Nevertheless I'd tested 528(F10) before. Guess what? It felt like a boat immediately!?! Maybe that 528 didn't come with M sport suspension, I guess...

All in all I was really surprised how good M5(F10) suspension was!?! I will definitely try one again or maybe rent one in the future...
It seems my review on F10 M5 is quite accurate.

You can check the below review from C&D. C&D think F10 M5 lacks performance such as handling, steering, brake, etc and prefers E63 and S6. In fact S6 is more comfortable than GSF but GSF handling is much better. So I think F10 M5 is tuned more for comfort. Not sure about new M5(F90)!?! I think F90 should be better than F10 but again not sure about how much better...

So maybe RCF doesn't match M4 handling but my GSF actually is quite good. I'm happy I didn't make a wrong decision... That's why my wife keeps saying my GSF is GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGOOD...

My GSF just slower but a lot cheaper and MUCH MUCH MUCH more reliable... (I also found that slightly used M5 I tested wasn't very fast and its tailpipes were as dirty as diesel cars'!?!)
This day finally arrives!!! My son will completely take over my 2007 G35S (over 190K kms) next week. I will drive my GSF tomorrow. So today is the last day.

Last year my OLD G had NO single problem and this year until now also has NO single issue, either. I wonder why my G has less problem now than 2-3 yeas ago. Maybe that is because I began to use better oil like Royal Purple HPS instead of Mobil 1.

On California highway, I still wonder why every car is so SLOW especially for morning commute. (Here V6, V8, 2.0t, 3.0t, Tesla are very common!!!) Maybe they still feel very sleepy. Of course I didn't race my G's engine. That's why I don't understand why they're so SLOW!?! Maybe my VQ engine really loves cold temperature in the morning...

After having driven both G35S and GSF for about 19 months, I think I cannot drive any cars without good performance dampers from Europe even with performance cars like GSF. So I plan to put Ohlins on my GSF next spring. It's no doubt Ohlins will transform my GSF completely again. The thing I only worry about is how much I have to sacrifice the ride comfort on my GSF. I heard Ohlins could provide more comfortable ride than many other performance dampers. Let's wait and see. Wish me luck!
很羨慕樓主能夠開到GSF,我自己是GS200t的車主,但是在上海,中國這裡沒賣GSF,就算有,也是天價!

依照我自己開GS的感覺,跟這幾年在汽車業的一些經驗,日本車的後驅平台跟德國車相比,主要就是剛性差了點。剛好之前在Cadillac服務,負責ATS/CTS的總工程師一直跟我提,新一代的Cadillac平台最大的變化就是提高剛性跟降低重心,這2點也是德國車的核心競爭力,在高剛性底盤的基礎上,其實彈簧跟避震器可以用軟一點,所以早期的日本車,例如你的2007G35跟同時代的IS350,都用上極硬的避震器來吸收力量,反而當時的BMW、Audi還沒這麼硬。很多人都會覺得日本車輕,實際上這些後驅平台都比德國車重,我個人的理解是,由於原來平台剛性不夠,所以配上更大的引擎動力以後,需要強化底盤,結果就造成車身過重,GS、RC都有同樣的問題,另外就是高重心。

至於GS,尤其小改款以後的平台,增加了車身膠的使用,這個膠現在已經很多車大量使用,可以補充焊點的剛性,但無法解決高重心的問題,所以你感受到的M5穩定性其實我認為不來自避震器的調教,跟重心還是比較有關係。有些人喜歡皮膚白的,說一白遮三醜,對車來說,重心低解決掉大量的問題,這也是新一代平台,不論是哪一家,一定會說重心低,尤其最近北美鋪天蓋地宣傳Supra,總工程師不斷強調的就是比86的重心還低。

GS最讓我滿意的,你在文章也不斷提到,就是方向盤手感,就是一個充滿路感的方向盤,雖然刻意調輕手了,但這本來就是日本車的特質,方便日常使用,但這個輕手到了高速的時候,直行的性能也非常好,不需要一直去修正,高速開起來就非常輕鬆,我自己沒想到竟然Lexus可以調出這種水準。

不過Lexus的整體動力輸出跟BMW一比還是弱了點,不提加速數據,就是指感覺,一樣是4缸渦輪,BMW的輸出就直接很多,降檔反應也完全對應駕駛的想法,我直覺Lexus為了油耗也是操碎了心,我看英國Top Gear的測試,就提到GSF的齒比太疏,升檔以後落差太大,力量無法持續輸出,我想GSF的8缸應該還沒有4缸這麼明顯,但看了測試跟現在的M5還是CTS-V估計還是有點區別。

以上都是我個人的感覺,沒有太多科學證據請見諒,看看跟你個人感覺是否接近。我一度也想過改ohilins,但上海路況不佳,原廠懸吊反而特別舒服,我也就打消這個念頭,打算等新M3或者340出來,直接搞一台算了,但我基本上都是通勤使用,有點擔心BMW 3這種車開起來雖然很爽,但舒適就離GS太遙遠,到時候可能還要跟樓主你多多交流。
Sorry. I don't think M5(F10) handle better or more fun than my GSF. My GSF just slower. The used 2016 M5 I tested was not so fast due to poor quality.

M5(F10) is much heavier than my GSF.

RCF may not be as good as M4 but GSF is as good as M5 if not better...

If you like BMWs, sure go ahead! Buy one for yourself!!! But definitely NOT for me.
I got some feedbacks from my son for my G35S.

1. No "翻車感覺" when turning (Compare with 2010 M35X) <-- I told him that's sport cars' feeling. My GSF doesn't have it either...
2. Much faster (Compare with 2010 M35X with only 80k kms, G is over 190K kms)
3. Air conditioning is still ICE COLD!!!
4. The ride with PSS10(F:7, R:4 10 is the stiffest) is OK. No complaint. My PSS10 setting was F:10, R:8!?!
