thanks. the car is dropped on h&r springs. but i didn't get the springs for convertible. i always don't like the raked look. so i got the springs for coupe, so the rear is a tad lower than the front, which gives it a more leveled look

H&R didn't stiffen the ride significantly? I thought overall they are a very aggressive (stiff) spring versus something like Eibach.

there are 2 h&r springs, one normal and one sport. the sport one is very stiff, i didn't go for that one. the normal one, it does get stiffer, but not too bad. you can pretty much say it's like stiffening up the edc settings by one click (kind of like the avs on lexus), so i am like driving in sports mode by default

eiback doesn't drop the car as much so it's softer, but i think it's a bit too mild and since we lease the car, no way i am spending the money on kw3 coilovers

hahaha, what makes you think i am not one now? i think i pissed off a lot of people in 2010

but apparently people do think i am a ***** in my m3 on the road. but the fact is you know what? if it's rainy and you are driving 50 in the fast lane and a m3 is right up your ***, get the hell out of that lane!

Put those two vids together for a 30 second commercial and it will be the greatest BMW commercial ever made.

GSD&M Idea City, based in Austin, TX, is the advertising agency that handles BMW advertising worldwide.

Sorry Henry, even leased cars need wheels.
Besides, I thought I read something saying you were going to keep the car.

Stop pissing around and wheel that thing.
