Just installed
First impressions are good. Not really more uncomfortable then it is stock. First i was afraid that it would become more bumpy but it isn't. Roads in Belgium are a disaster so this was not an option. Bodyroll is on public roads almost not noticable, a closed circuit will be a better place to push the suspension to the limit Looks have IMPROVED significant!!!! Bye bye fist wheelgap at the front Some pictures :

In less than 24 hours after delivery we went back to where some of the car's history lies. At the same time we took a glance at the DTM training sessions held there.

Picked mine up just over a week ago, managed 400 miles the first weekend, and now can't wait to get the running in out of the way. This is a true M car, really feels special, especially how it can handle a series of bends. Looking forward to really getting to know it.
Only one question for those who have had theirs a while, do you find it sounds a bit tappety at idle? My 130i and M3 before both sounded similar so not concerned, be interested to know if it is a common characteristic though. |

It's very cool to be able to see how the pic is made. Based on the reflection in the front bumper, I guess the photographer is laying in the trunk of another car... ? |

Got it on the 29th, Finally got around to getting some shots.
Not great ones, a little grainy(stupid HDR was on) will do for now.
