Adaptive Suspension question
I'm going to be buying the M235i shortly, and the first mod has to be a drop. That wheel well gap is ridiculous. I was just wondering how a drop would affect the adaptive suspension. If it's dropped on springs, can you still use the comfort, sport, sport + settings, as I believe those only change the dampers. And would I still be able to use the adaptive if I chose coilovers instead? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm just not that car savvy.

Check the Suspension | Chassis | Brakes thread in the F30Post. On the F30, they have the Adaptive suspension as well, and if its the same, I believe you can only change the Springs.

Are you talking about the car or the suspension? The car comes with the adaptive suspension, it's either that, or you fork out the extra money for the M performance suspension. I'm trying to keep the purchase price relatively low. Fortunately for me, I'm overseas and can get the military price. I disagree 100% with the car being a waste of money. There are tons of standard features, and the performance is very good from the N55 as noted in previous cars. So I don't really understand where you were going with that statement.

What do you mean? BMW's system has fundamentally the same capabilities as Magneride, it just uses a different mechanism to achieve that functionality. There are pros and cons to both types of systems.

BMW's attempts are fledgling and on very few cars. I can see BMW going full-force with it's "adaptive suspension" in the next few years, but I highly doubt currently, it's near the level of what is on Caddies & Vettes. |
