This poll needs a "none of the above" option. Not everyone who enjoys a nice stiff handling car takes it to the track, and there are OEM options with no warranty impact.

335 with option 704 static suspension
It would be amazing if the M performance suspension were a low cost factory modification option, like how the M sport brakes are a low cost way to get the same caliper and rotor size as the M performance brakes. I would definitely pay a small incremental cost to get an OEM suspension that is as aggressive as an aftermarket setup |

The stock suspension is too bouncy. Even for daily driving. |

I will not "lower" my car, but I will upgrade the suspension for better handling and a sportier ride. A lower ride height happens to be a byproduct of such modification. I also will never track it, as it is a daily-driver and not suited for track duty. I have other cars for that purpose.
So none of the above? Regardless, I chose A. 435i M-Sport 6MT static. |

M Adaptive suspension. Lowered for both aesthetics and better handling. I'm lowered ok H&R Sports. I plan on getting the KW's soon.

Haven't done it yet, but I picked the fourth option since I want to improve the handling. Last edited by USC2000; 05-29-2014 at 12:20 PM.. |

Should be an option related to x-drive. They have got to stop taking away sport suspensions from sport sedans just because some of us want AWD. I paid for a sport model (M sport line), then paid to upgrade my suspension (DHP), paid for AWD, yet if I wanted the same ride height and reduced body roll of a RWD car, I would have to spend more $$ to get the stiffer suspension BMW took away, claiming 'those with AWD want added ride height to clear the snow.' NO, we don't!
I drive a '13 335xi M sport with DHP |

435i M-Sport with adaptive, the car is already low enough, any lower I'd never be able to get out of it, and it's a luxury coupe not a sports car so why would I want it lower? I just don’t understand why people think they look good lower, I think they look ridicules too low, it makes them look cheap, I can understand X-drive owners wanting them lower but having the wheels inside the arches looks horrible

328i Xdrive with static - would love to lower the car to get rid of the BMW "4x4" look of the raised xDrive suspension as I have the sport line.
