hey thanks !

M Sport Suspension
This is the 3rd car i have owned with M Sport Suspension and it is the best tuned version so far. The suspension is firm enough to provide solid posture to the car around corners but not so much to ruin the ride even on poor surfaces.

On the motorway the ride is flawless, the car is perfectly connected to the road, only giving the ride of amount of feedback.

My previous car was a e92 335d with the M Sport Suspension, and it had to be said the tuning of the suspension could literally leave passengers with loose dental fillings !!

Lukeswarm · 10-11-2010, 05:54 PM

Super sweet car, they are beasts! can't believe how agressive the m-sport looks!

bm323 · 10-11-2010, 07:29 PM

How is the handling compared to a E60 with M sport suspension, and a F10 with adaptive drive (with the toggle switch on sport and chassis ticked)?

I think it was me that mentioned the ala discount via quidco. I've just gone to get the same for myself and the quidco discount is now only 10%!

You did well to get 25%!

A very good question and unfortunately I can't answer it because I have never actually driven an E60 M Sport. However, the F10 M Sport is certainly more firm than the sport mode in adaptive drive. My car has just the right level of connection to the road but this really is a question of taste. At least now all prospective buyers have the privilege of trying both models before committing. Many members including me, ordered the m sport on pure speculation and it luckily paid off.

SDRX · 10-12-2010, 04:03 PM

Dealer cut me a good deal so i took it. Sounds like got a cool deal too. It's a peace of mind, this will be my 3rd car with gap insurance.

The sound system is very good but there is definitely room for improvement. The system does lack clarity with certain tracks but excels with others. The bass is punchy, deep and can even begin to dominate the experience.

I think i need to adjust the fader/equilizer to get the best out of the system. At present, it seems as though the rear speakers are not working since the front stage dominates so much.

datbimmerdoe · 10-12-2010, 05:12 PM

congrats, m-sport ftw!!!

remmib · 10-12-2010, 06:33 PM

Congrats, looks awesome.

Matt37 · 10-13-2010, 09:02 AM

Thanks for the response. Is the lack of clarity from primary source (i.e. CD) or IPod?

commbett · 10-13-2010, 01:43 PM

Sweet ride!

It's Screaming out for the performance grill IMHO

10-13-2010, 02:52 PM

Sdrx, have you managed to get the BMW online Internet service to work using your iPhone? I only have the bmwonline function listed in idrive, no Internet. I'm wondering if they've made the service available yet? I can get all the remote services working via the apple iPhone app with no issues.....
