Should i delete m sport suspension

A follow up if I may: We live in an area full of speed bumps and tables which do terrible things to anything with a slightly low undercarriage or a body front that has a lowered area under the front end. Is the front end of the body any lower on an M Sport than on a Luxury?

Are the seats in the M Sport the same as in the regular Sport? Unsure if Sport and M Sport seats are identical, but I suspect so. Re: Ride with the M Sport suspension deletion option Post by Kiwi » Mon Apr 10, am I think you are crazy as I found sports suspension ok even on gravel roads. We have speed bumps every where and unless you don't want to slow down which is the reason for the speed bumps then go for 15" wheels with heaps of tyre side walls.

That's not correct. Same on the G Options are: M Sport suspension fixed dampers , firm, good cornering, lowered. SE suspension fixed dampers , soft, poor cornering. SE with variable dampers now you get all those driving modes , soft to firm but still not so good at corners due to the soft springs.

SE with variable dampers and hydraulic anti-roll also with those driving modes , soft on the straight, very firm in a corner. Remember that the AD only is available for the d not the i and up. Thank you for all the replies The model I am going for is the d xdrive msport.

I don't think AD is even an option else I'd forgo every other toy to fit this into budget. Please correct me if I am wrong but I am coming to the following conclusions taking into account the excellent replies I have received so far 1.

With my chosen model I may get SE suspension anyway as it is an xdrive? Why then do they have the option for delete MSport suspension at no cost. I am going to tick it anyway 2.

As regards runflats I believe the ride will improve if ditched. However I do a lot of motorway miles and like the idea of possibly extra protection against blowout. Not too bothered about the mobility aspect. I think therefore these will be kept 3. On the scared surfaces I also need to use daily I feel a softer suspension setup is less stressing on couplings 4.

I don't think 17 s will fit on the G30 with MSport brakes so I'll stick with 18 s. The extra weight here I'll have to accept as I want the better MSport brakes this I am assuming to be the case. Best to check with a dealer though. I'm going to talk your language for this one! The runflats are heavier and so will put an extra load on your suspension bushings etc. The ride will be worse and the grip will be worse, especially on uneven roads.

It's 22 years and , miles since I last got a puncture - so I have an AA card as my repair kit. I wouldn't worry about the durability of the suspension.

There is no track record of wear nor failures. Big wheels with RFTs are known to buckle or crack on bad roads though. Don't know - but I'd be amazed if they didn't fit. They certainly fit on an F10 d M Sport, and I would be surprised if they have changed this for the G The way to check, though, is to look on the tyre pressure plate on an M Sport G30 and see if they list 17" as a size normally for winter tyres.

Not sure how it is in the UK with packages but if you are talking about the msport package, i would keep it bc it looks amazing. If it is just the suspension and you are worried about the ride quality then just leave it out. M sport suspension is the Sport suspension. Yeah, just M Sport suspension. The rest of the package is great. Our roads are a mess compared to the US. Even worse now that road funding has been cut from the budget!

I've got SE suspension and 17" wheels. I like it. I had a loaner M-sport with 18" wheels, in London. Too stiff and actually made the car slower because the driving wheels lose traction over the typical imperfections on British roads.

Of course, that's my opinion and others will think the opposite. Also I like black. Jet black probably looks blacker when it is new, but it's a solid colour so probably looks a bit older faster.

BTW I recommend you spec the heated steering wheel. I had a similar issue with 18 inch rims and the sport suspension in NYC. In stock form the car was very unpleasant to drive in NYC and now it is much better, Still feels firm which is to be expected in a performance car but the harshness is gone. I think I will delete the M suspension, particularly as I can't change the tyres on a lease car. Still can't decide on whether to get Servotronic though!
