Knew my Adaptive Struts were Shot -

When I would put the the vehicle in Sport / Sport + all I could tell was that the throttle response was changed but I could not tell any difference in the firmness of the suspension. Comfort vs Sport +. there was absolutely no handling change.


Now that I have changed out the OE Adaptive Front Struts -- WOW! big difference in the firmness and steering wheel firmness.

I installed them myself with all new mounts, perches, Bumps and bolts. (Swapped out LCA and Thrust Arm about 3 months prior) no coil spring change.
The rebound on the old struts were very slow as compared to new ones.
.
I have just received the Rear Adaptive Struts and Mounts -- should have them installed this weekend. all from getbmwparts.com

I know most here move away from OEM adaptive -- but after a long struggle just stayed with OEM.
