[QUOTE=grimlock;8047786]mlai
just joking, i wanted to be the first to criticize myself :P kfiend u r right, i checked my car , driver side is 6-7mm lower! (measured properly with tape on flat ground, half tank) Try full tank, even worst. why is this? do u know if bmw has suspension bias for driver side/ gas tank etc.?Have not heard of that. And if there is a bias, shouldn't the bias compensate for this matter? i am troubled now.. thanks Mines going back in this weekend. u have adaptive drive right? just mod springs can work ? I have Adpative Drive, Dynamic Drive and IAS. I can only do with sports springs as I can't change my shocks. i would want a small drop 1-1.5cm, but that is too small might as well go for 2.5cm right? but i want keep comfort ..how to do? I'm finding it too soft right now, even in sport mode. And comfort mode is making my lady sick. So I am hoping that with stiffer springs I cam improve the situation. |

Downside, they don't give out too much noise until you really are on the limit. So for those who rely on listening to their tires squeak to know the limits, do beware. |

During those tight corners, with IAS you need to be really smooth and precise with your steering input. From an AWD back to a RWD, I am still adjusting. But I like how I can now adjust my steering with the control of the throttle.

r they hard or soft?
i cant spin my tires if i wanted to .. i optimized my set up for comfort+handling DW = super soft (love+++) so put on back .. more cushion for comfort, bendy tire not a problem, actually good to put power on road nero = harder, so more steering input (but still feel so little) but still comfort |

275 /10 is quite skinny ar ..it will look diff. ..285-295 still 'normal' ..fat 305 .. but that sounds crazy ..
10 is wide.. so if u go 275 u will notice the rim more, if u got 295+ u will see more tire like the promo pics |

I didn't want anything too soft as we do have quite a heavy car, anything too soft will be over heated very easily. |

Yes, 275 is the thinnest you can go with the 10J. I am running 245 n 275 cuz that's the standard setup for the 550i.
