Would it be comparable to the 2013 msport ride and handling. I suspect not many would go for a harsh ride or one that changes the character of the car. Also it seems the m suspension included different shocks and even a different upper control arm. Just curious as to the acs/dinan vs msport suspension.

This does annoy me a little bit, but not to the point where it's a deal breaker.
Looks like I will be getting coilovers sooner then planned!!! |

Love my F10 but yes the 991 is definitely my top "move on" car whenever the time may come.
If I have my way, my car will be too pristine and good to trade out of come lease end, and I'll get a nice discount off of the residual value making me have no choice but to buy it out. Otherwise, 991 will get a second chance indeed.

That 2013 seems to sit higher than mine (mine has a wheel gap where I can barely fit 2 fingers through). Per the other thread, is the 2013 pictured an XDrive (which has no M suspension)? You can still notice the lower stance than the 2014 even there anyway.

Oh, and can anyone with an LCI M Sport please confirm whether or not the new centered position of the foglights force you to be unable to see the large radiators behind the side intakes (i.e if the mesh in front of them is now closed off due to the foglights being in middle), or if they repositioned the radiators so they can still get free-flowing air? Or if like the F30 with fog lights, did they therefore now remove the radiators which were an exclusivity to 2011-2013 M Sports? I'm really curious about this. If you look inside the side intakes of a pre-LCI M Sport, you'll see the foglights pushed to the edges therefore next to them (in the middle of the intakes) the holes are open/functional and there are two radiators behind them, allowing for extra cooling (an exclusive benefit to only M Sport cars that lots of people don't know about). Like I said before, on F30 M Sports, you either get the fog lights and NO extra radiators (U.S cars), or you get open holes feeding to extra radiators with no fog lights at all (EU cars). The pre-LCI F10 M Sports found the perfect way around this with foglights AND extra M-Sport exclusive radiators behind the side intakes, and I'm hoping the LCI's didn't sacrifice that with the new centered fog light position.

I just took a look at my LCI 535xi, on the left side fog light, the vents are closed. I'm not sure if there is a radiator behind it. On the right, there are vents on both sides for the fog light and a radiator is visible.

Thank you for clarifying! Weird the left is closed as I'm almost certain that on the pre-LCI M Sport the holes are open on the left side with a visible radiator.

If you or anyone can inspect and/or take close up pictures of both the right and left lower bumper air intakes (where the fog lights are housed) to see if there are those radiators behind them, that would be awesome! As for the KIDNEY grills, I love the new ones! Very subtle difference but I like the less-slats look of them.

I would as well but a visible open radiator is a visible open radiator and I for one would rather have more than less. These cars need all the cooling help that they can get.

I just spent 30 min on the phone with BMW NA with some woman who couldn't answer a single question I had. She kept referring me to my dealer who know about as much as her. I'm not sure if anyone here can answer, but here are my questions. 1. since they took the LED front turn signals off, when you add the LED ighting package do you get the LED front turn signals? Also does anyone know which suspension you get if you add the adaptive drive? Also on a side note, I took a photo of the front LED fogs. Theres a radiator visible behind each fog and the intercooler is visible on the lower middle grill, with the radiator visible through the kidney's. Does anyone know if those are both oil coolers behind the fogs? Thanks in advance.
