Slap on a set of KW3's or something better and all the handling issues will go away...really its night and day at least for me. My 1M was so much better on the track then my 135i but it was almost that much better as my 1M stock vs 1M with KW3's.

Yeah, I am really starting to think about coilovers . . . which usually means a purchase is imminent. I am trying to hold out until next Christmas . . . probably will go with Ohlins R+T.

@ED ///M visit Jurgen Schwenker explained that springs are semi-bespoke by ///M default: They are selected at the factory based on individual vehicle weight (ie including the vehicle options of each individual car). Every 50kg more, a different spring is to be fitted. Not sure if this results in a large variety over all 1M's as there's no variation in heavy options like gearbox, sunroof etc. |

I have not tried the KW's, but I just installed my Ohlins kit and they definitely add some composure especially under braking and acceleration. It has even got me thinking about more power, something I never really wanted w/ stock dampers. I am very impressed. Whether that is something you want or not is up to you. The lack of composure on the stock dampers was something I found kind of endearing. That is not to say the car is no longer a hooligan, but that has been dialed back a bit.

I'm happy with the characteristics of the stock setup in the same manner. I had a chance to drive 1M Tex's car with Dinan springs at ECR recently. If all tracks were bumpy like ECR.. I would require a different setup for sure... As it is... I like that the 1M as a driver's car for ADVANCED drivers... The 1M requires some skill to handle at the limit and I love that! I'm curious about Ohlins and JRZ Rs-1 ... IF I make a change. Last edited by M3 Adjuster; 03-10-2016 at 09:14 AM.. |
