Suspension and shock tuning sounds a bit interesting. Improving the dynamics is always good. Where can I research more about them?
As I said, you CAN mod the N26 pretty aggressively and stay legal, there is just a lower ceiling and a smaller range of products. Thank goodness Dinan mods (and indeed races) the 228i.

As yours is a lease I would not advise any suspension mods unless you really don't care about throwing $4-6k on a car you don't own. Tuning the shocks is of limited value without replacing the springs. A Stage 1 tune might be the best thing to do, and leave it at that, if you want more power and torque.
