F32 Standard Suspension?
I would be grateful for any feedback on the F32 standard (non-M-Sport) RWD suspension. Is it appreciably stiffer than the standard suspension on the F30 sedan? How does the (non-VSS) steering feel? I haven't had a chance to test one, but it may be preferable to M-Sport for me because of the awful NYC roads.

Honestly it's the smoothest riding car I've ever had
Some past references - MB E350/E500, Audi A5/A6. Current reference - MB E63 (comfort mode). Haven't driven/ridden in a Rolls Royce so that car might have the F32 beat. I live in southern California and commute to downtown LA so I doubt my road condition here is any better than yours I think you'll love it. For me it's the perfect daily. It is extremely relaxing to get into this car after a long day at work. IBallf32sshouldcomewithmsportorelse |

Thanks for that, @435iaffair. Any comments on the handling, body roll, etc? I have the standard suspension in my F30 ActiveHybrid 3 and find it to be very uncomposed and unstable (while admittedly very comfortable). I'm hoping the coupe's standard suspension is significantly tighter while compliant enough for NYC cr_p roads.

I've got the Luxury Line 428i, but the wheels are still 18" diameter. The car rides amazingly smooth, but a bad bump is pretty jarring. I would not want the suspension to be any firmer.
I have THROWN this car into corners at high speeds, and even with all-season tires, it has amazing grip and there is almost no body roll. The 4-Series overall has a much more performance-oriented suspension than the 3-Series to begin with, which is more than enough for my needs. |
