Hello everyone. I just picked up a 2013 ActiveHybrid 3 with just under 14K miles. Its got the M Sport package. First impressions, its a rocket if I want it to be. Theres a bit of a clunk when going from electric to gas, but its minor. It sits up higher than I expected, and even though the manual says I can adjust the suspension, I don't see how to do it anywhere. First mods will be some kind of tint (I live in Florida), lowering it, and a splitter, probably Selma. I'm enjoying it immensely. Open to any suggestions and advice. I've really enjoyed the forum and its been incredibly informative and glad to be a part of it. Cheers

Congrats.. Your manual says the ride height is adjustable?

Thank you. It says I can change the settings, but there is no feature allowing me that option in iDrive.

It's a tune to make the car even faster.

Congrats on the new ride! I was considering a 2013 AH3 a few years ago! Man, it had some nice torque!

re: suspension

There is a button to the left of your gear shifter. It says ECON and SPORT. Set it to SPORT and your suspension will stiffen. Not sure it actually gets lower though.
