Disappointed in improvement after Shocks/Struts

Floaty comes from front toe angle too close to straight or worse: toe out!

I think BMW calls for 0.15° toe in for the best stability (at the expense of outer tire wear).

Make sure the tire pressure matches the b pillar numbers and get the alignment.

Rear wheels toe out will also cause oversteer = wishy washy feeling. (and terrible inside tire wear; when my rear ball joints failed i wore the tires to the red neck wear bars* in under two weeks)

*Steel belts.

Road feel comes standard on e53 that should be expected. Groan is usually a ball joint. Hopefully they check ball joints before adjusting toe.
