I am new to the forum, and very grateful to have found this forum before placing an order for my new E60.

As a result, I have ordered a Carbon Black 530i Auto, with MSports Package. The car will be one of the first builds of the new R6 3.0 litre engine - but the downside - delivery only April next year

Since I have some time to decide on other options, thought I'd ask for opinions on the MSports suspension with and without Dynamic Drive (roll stabilisation)??

Does Dynamic drive make the drive considerably more comfortable?

Thanks

 

Fantastic engine you're getting...worth the wait!!!

I don't have Dynamic drive, I am sure there are some interesting and worthwhile
aspects about it. For me, semi-purist, am super happy with my sports suspension setup.
Obviously, other E60 buddies who have it will fill you in...

 

BTW, welcome to the forum!!!

Andy

how did you order a car that will have the R6 engine? what has your dealer told you?

 

Thanks for all the welcomes - and only been a member for an hour - what a forum!
