Testimonial - E92 330i - B3 Sport Suspension - Mr Thomas

Date: 15/09/2014

Hello Kevin,

As promised, some feedback on the suspension.

Upon leaving your premises and up to the point of reaching more familiar roads, I wasn't sure if anything had changed. I later realised that this was more a reflection on the very poor quality of the roads around the area leading up to the M25 ( I hadn't thought roads could be in worse shape than Kentish ones) than on the setup itself.

After approximately 200 miles covered since the installation, I can attest to a subtle improvement when crashing into an unexpected pothole (it happened once); a vast improvement to the ride quality on imperfect tarmac and a dramatic increase in stability when going around fast corners (large roundabouts and such). You were right; the handling has changed completely. On the motorway I usually tried hard to avoid cats-eyes due to the "crashy" nature of the ride; I do not notice those anymore, there is but a gracious 'thump' if I go over them.

One thing I had not shared with you is that I had expected something to go wrong with the installation on Friday. I am such jinxed in that every single thing I purchase or get installed goes wrong (incomplete/missing part, incorrect bolt/duct/whatever). This is the first installation that goes smoothly on this car (quicker than expected too). Thank you and your crew for the speedy and accurate install on Friday.

I may be in touch at the start of spring regarding the LSD and ARB installation. I may also be in touch, sooner, about some better braking system options. You may share my feedback anonymously with anyone if so wish. I am not big on fora/social networks etc.

 
best regards,
C
