Doesn't help if you are like me with an MSport or Sport.

Real question I guess for everyone is there something the current sway bar isn't doing for you? Has everyone pushed the car to the extreme limits?

It's not that bad. I know springs will not cure it. It will need a beefier rear sway bar.

I also have been on my winter 17s with 45 series tires for awhile. My 19s will have a better gauge as to where the car is at.

You have no idea how annoying it is to sit and stare at them every time I pull into the garage, and wait for this bloody snow to melt. I've been waiting to do a shoot!!

I waited 8 weeks for my Forgestar build, now I have them, the tires, the sensors, but watch each day pass debating putting on them despite the weather. Its also so early that potholes have not been fixed yet.

Would a 28mm sway bar (rear) be perfect for the F30?

I keep my eye on this forum waiting for cool stuff to hit the f30 market... but it's been suprisingly slow.
Any ideas why that is? I haven't had the chance to test drive one but I want to- there seems to be no downside of the new car- especially the 328.

Are the sway bars that are included in the M Performance suspension kit the same as the ones included in the factory sports package (M-Sport, Sport +) for the f30?
First post, apologize if its a newbie question.... |

But that's not always a bad thing as it can help give more grip in a tight turn with the added weight transfer. I don't track so I haven't "pushed" it in that sense. I've pushed it on some regular roads like on nicely curved entrance ramps. For me the car sticks nicely. And when I set the adaptive dampers to sport there is less body roll. My issue is the overall "looser/softer" feel of the suspension like the car is riding on softer rate springs and/or softer bushings all around. That coupled with the softer, not as crisp, steering makes my Msport feel a good bit softer than my 135i and E46 325i sport. The steering and chassis just felt tighter on both of those cars. My Msport feels like there is a layer of marshmallow in the set up. Maybe firmer bushings? I'm still considering getting the M Performance springs to use them with the adaptive dampers. I may end up doing that in the next couple of months. For me I think that will give me what I want. |
