The engine just kept trucking, and with as many miles as mine has, it STILL doesn't skip a beat...
That is what i love about NA engines, generally speaking you can hammer them all day and they will just never refuse.

Right now, i am very happy with a daily 125i with coil overs, non RTFs, 330i front brakes and software tune. Especially since i changed those silly rear bump and rebound settings, car is a delight and no issues at 200+kph on the autobahn, i can keep pushing it with confidence.

I need to go to the track with this setup and see the results with these changed out of the box KW settings.
And that's what I love about suspension adjustments. A little goes a long way, and the tiniest things make huge differences in how everything feels. I've also found that when the car feels "just right" is when I drive it the fastest, and have the confidence to do so.
