Also I hit a section where there was no more high walls and started feeling the wind from the sides. I would like to find some good replacements for the adaptive M one day.
Hey wait a minute there, u got stiffer dampers WITH the adaptive M?? I thought people couldnīt make that happen, but does it work good in between modes etc?? Warranty, codes??

OT: I have only done 160 km/h (max during break-in) with this one. I did 210 km/h with the E90 320i I had (ran out of road ahead) but 3 years ago I lost my drivers license racing an undercover cop when I had a rental volvo V50 1.8 FlexiFuel. He was in a SAAB Estate(which is what they all drive........) and when we reached speeds above 200 km/h he turns on the blender in the grill and I saw that nasty blue/red flashing in my rearview mirror.. Had I looked carefully when I passed him I would have seen the uniform, but I was so angry giving him the finger cause he almost made me drive off the road earlier...... I still won.
