Coilovers on a M-sport

commaps188 · 01-30-2012, 03:03 PM

Hi

I wanted to ask the ones that have M-sport package that have installed the coilovers.

When i test drove the m-sport there was a button that can change the suspension to sport mode, so if I have coils in will it change anything or it does not effect it at all

M-sport comes with dynamic suspension right

TIA

Depends which year you get. I have a 2011 with ARS (active roll stabilization) as it was part of the M-Sport package. On the 2012's M-sport's got cheaper because they didn't have ARS, but they did have Dynamic Suspension If you have ARS there are no options right now (that I know of). Other-wise you are in luck..

I believe KW is the only coilover available for F10's, and they include a error-free kit so the computer doesn't know you replaced the OEM dynamic suspension.

I got the 2012 528i M-sport kit. I think it has the Dynamic Damper Control so only KW will work?

I saw the other post about Megan coils wiill that work?

Thanks

^From my knowledge, they don't have the error-canceling that KW provides. And I'm still weary of trying Megan. I've had buddies back in the day with Megan coils on their Hondas and they didn't feel that great back then, but who knows.

KW has a great reputation, but they are a lot more than the Megans.

What is the error-canceling part is it a module or something?

Anyone has a m-sport with coilovers that can shed more light on this

Thanks

Isn't the msport just a body kit/trim difference? Why would any of that matter re: coils?

I'm going to be swapping my front for msport and have wondered about clearance (kwv3) but not sure about an msport suspension difference.

The M-sport comes with the adaptive suspension from what I understand

I am still waiting for the car
