Congrats chopper45, beautiful colour.
I can't wait the last days before I get mine. Is the rear spoiler the only M Performance part you added? or did you added some M Parts inside too? |

Pictures don't actually do the color justice.... I only added the spoiler and probably won't add anything else to be honest as I'm really happy with the way it is. Good luck the pick up |

Hi, A lot of the roads i drive are not great. This was a demo that i bought so didn't get to choose the spec. If i had i would have added adaptive dampers, but then again I think they should be part of the M-Sport package and not another extra....

Nice pick up on the spot.
Excellent color, correct looks much better in person. Enjoy. The 5 series Sophisto Grey, pics below show the metallic under lights. http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=329658 Last edited by barcelona; 09-03-2014 at 08:25 AM.. Reason: dark graphite aka Sophisto Grey, |

Yea- our 2011 X3 35i M Sport w/o DHP was jarring. Our 2015 with DHP is more composed and compliant over all surfaces (particularly uneven pavement).
Surprised they would spec an X4 w/ 20" but no DHP. Honestly- I'd sell it while it's worth about what you paid and order one with DHP. |

My Dealer has the same point of view as cSurf dealer. When I bought my actual X3 35i Msport in 2011, he advised me to ABSOLUTELY NOT CHOICE the M sport suspension. As I had already configured by myself the car, he was surprised I selected the Adaptive Suspension. Now after 3 years with it and 19" wheels, I am totally convinced by the adaptive suspension. Even the 318d E90 with standard wheel that the dealer gave me now until I receive the X4, has an harder ride quality than the my ex-X3 with adaptive suspension. But here I must add, I test drove an X4 30d M sport with adaptive suspension and 20" wheels. With the 20" Wheels it is a little bit firmer than in the X3 with the 19" in Normal/comfort mode. |

Springs alone really wouldn't get the job done. It's really the tuning of the dampners that are causing your problem. Either way- you're probably better off swapping out X4s. |

To me, X4 is sitting about 25mm (1") too high, but if you are happy with the height, the best thing would be to install adaptive dampers. Might be a bit expensive.....

I have the M package with 20' rims and DHP and I was expecting a harsher ride compared to my X3 M package with 19" wheels, but it was actually a smoother ride.
