IMO, no
The myth of german autobahn driving is just that. Spend some time there, over the course of a cars life, they are driven very much like in the USA
I know it is disturbing to find that BMW engineers just F-ed it up for no good reason other than being lazy. It is comforting to think "oh, those perfect germans on the autobahns- we dont drive like them so its really our fault'. We see this with a lot of BMW issues- the oft-repeated "its because they desiged it for xyz" (German fuel, german roads, german drivers)....
My "spec" is actually WITHIN the BMWs very wide and sloppy spec. So for those that feel compelled to follow the factory, you can! Just put it on the very edge.
wonder what OP did.... $100 he went to a shop and they convinced him to do what they wanted.
