sport suspension

hi all,

Is it recommended (as a sporty driver) to order sport suspension in 325i ?
I understand that it lowers the vehicle by 15 mm, is it something that u can daily live with, or is it really changes the vehicle nature - to be "nervous" on bad roads ?
in addition, does the E90 on basis quite low and this suspension will make it extremely low; I mean: will 15 mm lowering require a special care (with speed bumps etc.) or there will not be a big difference ?

All this, considering that the wheels will stay standart 16"...

thanks a lot !

It is worse on bad roads and you have a greater risk of bottoming out on speed bumps. If a lot of your driving is on bad roads, do not get the sport pkg.

Hi,

Do u think the sport suspesion is something I can daily live with (with 16" wheels)?
I have now E46 330i, 17", without any modifications,
and I'm very pleased with it. The only thing that bothering me is if the E90 will be to much low with
16" wheels and sport suspension. I think I'll manage the convenient...

Thanks,

Majory

my car came with the sport pack and seriously i had not problem with it, the ride was just as comfy as a car without, i should know i've experience both since i had an 06 325i e90 no sport and now have an 07 335i e90 with sport. i've eventually lower both cars with eibach sportline which drop it 2.0 in the front and 1.5 in the back, i admit the ride is a little choppy but i was still hitting speed bumps at some quick speeds, besides extremely large ones where of course i'd slow down. all in all the sport pack is not going to drive you insane...
