M-sport suspension clarification
Just want to be sure I have this right:
The ONLY legit sport suspension (I mean springs and dampers) comes in the RWD platform ONLY. The Xi cars have the base suspension. I'm not interested in having the complex and pricey and rare adaptive stuff, as nice as it may be. |

My understanding of what Spitfire is seeking is the "option 704" suspension - the true, passive, always on, beefier springs/shocks/sway bars, lower ride height, no electronics option. S704A is the only way to definitively identify it. Now, on the F10, 704 is still not all that fantastic compared to other platforms, but it's the closest to a purist "sport suspension". |

Is there any make that provides a solid sporty yet comfy suspension without costing $100k ? I don't get it... |

My base 2012 535i handles and rides just fine. This was my first BMW so have nothing other than comparable cars to compare. I came from a 2006 Lincoln LS and the base suspension is just as good as the Lincoln's sport suspension.
