Stuck this here since it's the only real active suspension sub-forum.

The F10 drives like a pig - even with M-sport. On advise of Will Turner, when I bought the car I swapped in AC Schnitzer springs and H&R Sway bars. Both were a big help but a band-aid. The shock / spring combo is just horrible.

@barry@3DM is about to develop an Öhlins kit for the F10 - both 2wd and awd cars. My car is the initial test mule, and he begins the measurement process this Friday. We have a couple people that are on the list for first pass on kits once we do initial tests. I'm curious if anyone else has an F10 and is interested. I love my car but it needs a serious handling fix! Drop me a PM if you have any interest in this. I'll try to post some info here as progress is made with my car. I don't know how quick this will come together but I'd guess spring-time.

550 a candidate? I just bought the 2016 msport and it's comfortable but I about do downpipes and mission stage 2 with TCU tune so gonna be 620 to 650 hp. Car has 44k on it and bmw putting transfer case and two wheel bearings as we speak so car is mechanically perfect.
