More body roll but softer ride it's an ok trade off.

The third to last is prob my favorite. It was snowing out so I wasn't pushing too hard but that's a very fun road.
The air springs are firmer. It was very noticeable on wife's e70 vs. mine. And on our e53 as well (role was reversed I had air in the e53 she had springs).
Once you get into a tight turn it locks in and you can power though the curves regardless coil or air.
I was very happy to have the air in the e53 and I'm about equally happy I accidentally ended up with coil on the e70. |
Thanks for bring the videos! Pretty fun POV! Is that just with your iPhone?
My schedule is clear for tomorrow and the weather looks good, so I think I'll go grab what I need for the install and not even mess with the bags that are on the car. I'll order new.
I do have impact tools to use (what leaps and bounds cordless tools have made!) so that will make the job go fairly quick. Pretty excited to see how the ride compares. And to get rid of the stupid error on the dash!
I'll let you all know how it goes and my impressions of the ride.
