What's confusing to me is the part which says "as if that were not enough: the dynamic chassis characteristics of the new BMW 3 Series can be increased even further by selecting Sports mode, which is supplied as standard". What is standard? Sports mode? Sure, but a dynamic chassis implies adaptive suspension, at least to me. See here: http://www.bmw.ca/ca/en/newvehicles/3series/sedan/2011/showroom/dynamics/chassis.html#t=l I don't think it is standard though For example, the M Sport comes with suspension which BMW CA says is "lowered by ten millimetres with stiffer spring and damper settings as well as harder stabilisers", implying that other lines carry only standard suspension (note adaptive is the same height as M Sport, i.e. 10mm lower than standard). Hopefully someone can clarify. My money is on E90 Fleet. |

1.) Adaptive M Suspension isn't an option in Canada 2.) Sports suspension is a separate option regardless of which line you pick (i.e. Sport Line does not come with sports suspension). 3.) Original order guide does not have either suspension options, which I think was a mistake. Updated order guide has the option to add sports suspension. I was able to catch my order just in-time before production started to add sports suspension when the updated guide came out. I would recommend adding it. It's still quite comfortable/livable as a daily driver and your car get's lowered by 10mm which IMHO makes it look so much better.

I think all EDE:s come with sport suspension, and those can be chosen with one of the three lines (not all of the stuff from the lines but still, they call it modern etc).
EDE Sport Line: sport suspension Sport Line: standard suspension msport: sport suspension Even EDE Modern Line has more sport suspension than the regular Sport Line. Quite funny. |

Its pretty self explanatory, its a service through one my financial institutions that will purchase cars for you. I've used them before, but sometimes I can use them to get an even better deal through dealership, use that as a ceiling and make the point that with your buying service, you can get the EXACT car you want. Of course that wont work if you were planning on ordering in the first place, but at least you can use the service as a last resort if the dealer just wont beat them.

My production is complete and it makes 0 sense that a Sport Line car would not come with sport suspension (especially when it does everywhere else in the world). Canadians screwed again.

That explains a lot. I was wondering why I had a huge wheel gap despite purchasing the sportline trim. Time to look into some spring/shocks or coilovers when they are available.

I have a 335i sport line on order and dealer system says it is done production waiting on a ship. When I ordered sport line I thought it has sport suspension. Long story short it doesn't in Canada and so far the dealer is working with BMW Canada to see about ordering me the sport suspension to be installed at the dealer. Dealer is under the impression that sport suspension is just springs and nothing else. Can anyone confirm if it requires different shocks etc. Or is passive sport suspension just springs?
Thanks. |
