i'm confused as to the definition of "swaying". is the car rocking from side to side? are the rear wheels slipping?
no, it's a slight suspension weave (not dangerous at all, imo), more toward the front end if i remember -- but no slipping or traction issues at all.. and, fwiw, i have the distinct impression that this is ameliorated in 4.2 for me. i feel like this is/was stability control compensating for perhaps a slight oversteer on my part when i change lanes at speed. maybe i've adjusted my driving a wee bit, with a mite less steer when doing quick maneuvers, but not consciously. as we know, getting used to a new car takes a bit of time. this may be one of those things that didn't register with my body at first and i've been still driving as i did with the bmw. i don't have the issue anymore that i can tell and i still drive as racy as ever. maybe it simply took a bit to understand how the s responds in that situation and undo old muscle memory. (i have steering on sport btw.)
(side note: had occasion to drive my x5 over the weekend, it's getting turned in soon, and while that is a great car, it felt so sluggish and clumsy compared to the s... breaks my heart to say, but didn't miss it at all! sorry old girl...)
