ROBNYC,video is out of my league. You have Russian car and M40i - both in "garage"- you have to trust me that STD 35i with Klappen is as Russian car.

I will, however, do a tesdrive with M40i at dealer, when available. I will also report findings here - not to try to convince M40i owners that they made a mistake, but possibly guide potential buyers of the difference between an EL Cheapo upgrade of a 35i and a M40i.

I am happy with my 306 - possibly 315bhp with Klappen - so the interesting evaluation is:
-interior sound
-sidewind sensitivity
-steering precision
-steering feedback
-steer-into-a-curve
-gearshifting
-chassis comfort
