Ordered YMB/SO M3

dbski · 11-13-2014, 09:07 PM

Well I did it

After 5 months of searching, I went from looking for a e90 to a e92 and ended up with an F80. I'm a first time BMW owner.

-DCT
-Executive
-LED
-19in black
-HK

I originally had the M suspension picked going into the dealer but was told by the manager and my CA that I wouldn't even feel the difference between the modes and to not waste my money so I opted for the LEDs instead after seeing them in person. Is the M suspension something I'm going to miss? I do plan on dropping the car with HR springs.

I have the passive and think it is great, but if I did it again, I would go with adaptive suspension.

If you're already decided on going aftermarket with the suspension then you're good with the standard setup. I think the standard feels fantastic.

I've read that the passive suspension is somewhere between sport and sport + so the question is if the comfort mode on the adaptive is really that noticeable and good?

Adaptive suspension is only $1k. Plus, you can install some of those adjustable KW springs that are compatible with the adaptive suspension.
