My 320d M Sport Touring after a rare winter handwash. Used as a daily and just hit 105k. Recently put a Bilstein B12 Pro Sport suspension kit on after the original shocks went and it has transformed how the car drives. In some ways it's now more composed than the e92 M3 I sold late last year such is the improvement in the suspension. Doesnt have the poise or the peak grip (undestandably) but its definately as stable mid corner and more compliant without being too harsh. The remap to 225hp (from south west incartech) has worked fantastically well also and it still never does less than 51mpg however I drive it which is quite incredible for a 10ur old car. With Dunlop Sport Maxx all round it really drives well. Couldn't ask for more for an all rounder.

Yeah another b12 kitted car owner here. I thought my 5 series felt a bit soft as I was used to the firmer ride of the 3 series sport cars. Had mine on the car about 3 years I think. I still enjoy the feeling of the way it goes over bumps because you can feel the damping if that makes sense. Mine has developed a clunk or knock from the front. It's been doing that now for a while. I'm just ignoring it for now. If I ever get my move organised to somewhere with a drive rather than just on street parking I might rip it to bits and replace all the arms. I hope it's those or the top mounts and not the damper itself knocking.
