120d and understeer:(

osracing · 12-03-2010, 09:04 AM

Hi, I want to reduce understeer in my 120d Coupé. What do you recommend?

adjust/experiment with tire pressure (higher in the rears, lower in the front)
adjust driving style/lines
adjust alignment for more rotation
adjust front alignment for more negative camber via pin removal or aftermarket camberplates

I also read about the M3 sway bar...

OP - Perhaps getting the BMW Performance suspension might be the best option. It will come with new shocks and springs... AND... new front and rear sway bars. It should transform your car's handling.

IF you are on a budget I'd just get a e93 ('vert) M3 front sway bar.

You have some personal experience? I would like a M3 front sway bar.

No. I just thought you were looking to BETTER the driving experience. ie: handling. The BMW performance suspension does just that.

Go for the M3 sway bar and let us know what you think. For under $300 it can't be beat. BUT if you find that after that you still want better handling... its gonna be a true suspension kit like the BMW Perf or a coil over setup. Just my two cents worth. Good Luck.
