Thanks!

I definitely feel that X5 has better driving and cornering than my previous ride..
This is the difference:



MountainMan, you have the best suspension. You'll notice how much more planted your car is, and when you take corners, it will feel more like a sedan taking corners. The stock suspension has a good amount of body roll. Adaptive M is a great compromise for only $900 as KayJay got on his build. DHP is just that much better and by having both, you'll just have that perfect feel/control. I wish they would make these suspensions (at least the M adaptive) standard for this vehicle. I guess some people like the loose feel ...not me.

Congrats to both of you . It's truly a remarkable vehicle.
