u have IAS also? ..damn, did u get the cameras+parkassist?
I skipped those for better handling and a more flexible chassis. I'm used to driving big cars, so PDC will do. Cameras+park assist are too expensive IMO.

Thanks guys!
Now let's just hope that I can solve the ride height problem.

Oh, with IAS my car does feel as small as my E90 on repulse bay road. You will only notice how big the car is when there is a bus coming from the opposite lane. Even the mrs if it easy to drive (the E90 is hers).

IAS feel....
I need to get use to less steering input, apart from that, this baby (if not a monster) rocks.

And yes, they do have suspension bias, and that's the crap BMWHK is giving me. Bias for LHD but not RHD. Hence, why the driver side for us is lower.

i suppose timing would be very important

Kfiend, just measured my f10's ride height. Full tank, only 5mm difference between left and right side which is well within error of measurement for me.

Then you are perfectly fine.
My still sit about 11mm higher even with a full tank.

Looking forward to seeing your new toys!

Another trivia about the f10. According to my salesman, the rear/top view options will result in a backup battery and other electronics installed beneath the trunk floor. Thus the little storage space underneath the trunk floor will not be present for f10s with those options.
