Suspension Poll for 3/4 Series and 1/2 Series Owners (Please Vote)

dtn · 05-29-2014, 09:04 PM

Combo of A and D.

crono06 · 05-29-2014, 09:13 PM

I would have picked D, but my car is not yet lowered. As such, I chose A.

I've got a 335 xDrive with the M Adaptive Suspension.

MY2013 F20 M135i RHD, M Performance Chassis upgrade

JoeyBananaz18 · 05-29-2014, 10:34 PM

E92 335 xdrive. Lowered on H&R coils for aesthetic reasons and should start tracking this fall. Went with coils so that I wouldn't be limited to just one height. Coils could be a very attractive factory option for the performance oriented driver.

The outcome of this poll kinda sums up why BMW is moving in the direction they are.

10% of people taking their car to the track is higher than I expected.

Far cry from GT3, which Porsche says 80% of owners take to the track

serdna · 05-29-2014, 11:41 PM

F30 318d static.

TankerJoe · 05-29-2014, 11:57 PM

428i MSport adaptive

lightyear36 · 05-30-2014, 12:17 AM

I'm not allowed to vote. F30 330d. Adaptive suspension. Already lowered as part of M-Paket. Would not lower it additionally.

davey111483 · 05-30-2014, 01:01 AM

335i M Sport with DHP

Newton2001 · 05-30-2014, 01:58 AM

435i xDrive M-Sport with adaptive suspension.

hans007 · 05-30-2014, 02:31 AM

2013 328i m-sport. static suspension. would not lower it, like it as is (well maybe maybe, would wish it had a stiffer rear sway bar so it wouldn't roll as much but not enough to bother buying one)

Mike_ANAbil · 05-30-2014, 02:51 AM

2014 318d M-Sport - Static

hwelvaar · 05-30-2014, 06:45 AM

Not lowering. Don't want harsh ride.
M135i with adaptive suspension.

jdfish06 · 05-30-2014, 07:15 AM

There needs to be a similar poll for 5/6 series...

Elsabor67 · 05-30-2014, 07:41 AM

I track my car and my whole suspension was replaced by AST 4100s w/Swift springs, M3 Bits/Bushings fromt and rear with exception of the rear lower control arms.

AGAV13 · 05-30-2014, 08:06 AM

I personally feel it unfair to compare a 3-series owner to a GT3 owner. I'm sure the GT3 has a lot less 'casual' buyers. Anybody who goes for one of those knows exactly what they're getting into and exactly why they want a GT3.

MikeE90NC · 05-30-2014, 09:05 AM

I am an A and D person, selected D tho as handling is more important than looks to me. I am currently 335i non-sport suspension but have a set of ST coils on the way.
