Great photos. How did your car perform, and did it lean a lot? You may want to consider some suspension enhancements, as they will make a significant difference to the feel of the car.

Cheers, Daniel.

yes its stock suspension and its great! bmw engineerd this car to be comfortable and handle well, even at these high speeds its so well planted and i did a 10 min lap with 4 people in the car and it never once felt like i would loose it! this car is awesome , i was allmost flat out keeping the revs up 4000 to red line all the time makes the bimmer fly, its a 2.5 engine! i will not be altering the suspension its well up to the job!

Very nice, but you will be amazed at how a coilover suspension with transform the handling. It is one of those things that you have to experience to believe. It is not an improvement, it is a transformation.

Cheers, Daniel.

I concur! It was like night and day, with little loss of comfort! There was some discomfort on certain types of bumps, but the control after hitting those bumps more than made up for it!
