A 5 series is like the pinnacle of taut firm control. It's on another level, no Jeep can or will come close to. High center of gravity, giant mushy tires. No Jeep will ever handle like a 5 series car. No SUV will either. But definitely no Jeep. I agree you can fix the play, and improve the handling, but it'll never be a luxury sports sedan, or even close.I don't quite agree here, I feel stock the Gladiator has a lot of steering play and wander that can actually be easily improved as you upgrade. MY JKUR on coilovers with high steer handles like a modern SUV, not a Jeep or a Gladiator. Its all in how you build it. Most people throw on a small lift and say "rides better than stock" which is usually BS, but if done right, even with bigger tires and lift it really can handle and steer like a "car". Which isn't a bad thing....
