Thanks for that change, that looks more like it. I'm more used to seeing these with the graph axis reversed, but the numbers are closer to what I'm calculating. Still slightly different what I'd get with a .65 - .75 critical damping ratio, however, which either means my numbers are a little off, and/ or suggests BMW is using the shocks to tune corner entry and exit behavior.

It will be interesting to see what the aftermarket guys are dialing into their shocks if someone dynos those...
