Haha! I pulled a "Homer"

So after purchasing my M5 a couple weeks ago the first thing that struck me negatively was the suspension. I kept thinking, "What's the big deal about this SLS? Why so expensive? It doesn't even feel that good!" In fact I thought the handling seemed a little soft and rolly even! Then again my other car is an '80 911 SC, which is a rock so I figured I ws just biased. Fast forward tonight.. I'm filling up at the station and decide to check the tire pressure. ALL OVER THE MAP!! FL-22, FL-25, RL-30, RR-33. I check the manual and it's a bit confusing but I decide on 38 front and 41 rear. HOLY $@&%!! Can you say, New car??? I had to bomb around for a good half hour trying out my "new car". Love it. I recall someone on here saying they check their pressure twice a week, now I see why!

So yeah, a big Homer, "DOH!" on my part for not checking the tire pressure as soon as I took over the car.

I was even seriously looking into the SLS delete!! Think I'll hold off
