Harsh Ride
Recently traded in my 2011 M3 for a certified 2015 M235i. As my DD, I enjoy the smaller size, torque, cup holders and warranty. What I am unhappy about is the bouncy harsh lively ride quality.
I have a fully track prepped E36 that I would rather drive on bumpy roads over the F22. The magnetic suspension in my E92 actually made a difference based on the setting. I find very little discernible difference between comfort, sport and sport +. The rebound on the mag shocks makes for a harsh ride. I can handle firm. Any solutions? |

Yea the damping is really "off" on these cars, rear is extremely under-damped. It's one of the reasons I decided to use full coilovers..
They're not "mag" shocks, though. They are a valve based shock/strut just like most OEM's. Mag ride is usually for $80k+ cars, new. Probably would have made the F22 too good if they used them, lol

Yep, these cars have terrible valving from factory. Dinan sells shorter ones from some E-series car, but won't help you.
I'm not sure why, but it seems like spring rates are kept as secrets from what I've seen, although I haven't checked too hard and could be wrong. |
