The suspension of my 3 Series is static.
I would have liked to purchase customizable. I am not the group of people who lower the suspension and vote for that option. But I like that there is variety for all types of people. I like the feeling of a more dynamic handling when cornering my car but I also ride comfort care for the health of my back. I am aware that the basic static suspensions and sport use "vibration dampers" very advanced that allow an optimal balance between sporty handling and good driving comfort. For this last reason was not necessary equipped with adaptive suspension. I have my other self a 7 Series with adaptive suspension but it is for another forum topic 7 Series. |

It is supposed to be about which is more important to you. Do you mainly change suspension for track purposes or for aesthetic appeal? If appearance is merely a function of your desire for track performance, I would choose the track option.

2014 335I M Sport DHP... I voted for lower/firmer suspension for track use.
I like this car a lot, but I have been frustrated by the floaty, soft calibration of the stock sport suspension. This is my 4th BMW, but they will need to improve the sports suspension for me to buy a 5th..

My only plans are to replace run flats with Michelin PSS. I will probably go up to 225/40 in the front because those 215's are too skinny and make the car understeer. BMW needs to lose the run flats on cars with M sport suspensions. 2012 135i coupe.

2014 335i xDrive touring, M-Sport, adaptive dampers.
Its a shame the xDrives do not come lowered directly from the factory... they look like an X3, ride and roll like a 2CV. All can be fixed with some apropriate springs, but why why why is this not an option when ordering a new car? |

So I chose the best answer although my decision is more of a combination. ..
I have a 13' F30 335i with EDC package and went with Dinan springs, planning on going with shockware as well. The first reason I drop a car is aesthetic, but clearly prefer the sport feel and handling to stock. I also have been considering tracking the car but haven't yet so can't say it is a deciding factor.

THIS^^^^ BMW are you listening? I even tried to see if they would do a port install of MPS and was shot down. Pretty lame to not offer a choice that is clearly in demand. |

335i with Static M performance suspension.
Stock base suspension was a joke, had to go ASAP!

The number of warranty concerns because of suspension mods boggles my mind. What in the hell might go wrong where warranty coverage is a concern after spring/damper or coilover mods?
It just speaks of the demographic, I guess. |

Only 14% of the overall, that's not too bad.
