Suspension Upgrade
Posted: Mon Oct 11, 2010 11:03 pm
Hi, I am new to the forum. I've had my E70 3.O sd for three years next month, think it was one of the first in the country.
I absolutely love the car and intend on keeping it for a while longer. The one thing that I am not happy with is the ride...particularly when it comes to negotiating speed bumps ( I love in an area with a LOT of them) and the way it crashes through potholes. I have already changed my tyres to non RFT Vredsteins which whilst it has improved the ride (it hasn't made as much difference as it did on my old 535d) it has not completely solved the problem. I am thinking of changing the suspension to an aftermarket one from the likes of KW or Eibach as I have read a few articles claiming that the suspension offers improves ride over the OEM. Does anyone have any experience of aftermarket suspension with the E70 ?
Thanks!
