You should put power to weight into consideration.
I think A3 is probably 200KG less than your car.
You should save bullet and get a E90 M3
no no no
Z4 35 any day.
he already has a 4 door car like me.

Just an update for the Koni FSD (for those of you planning to change or in the future )

Ride:
Excellent for the HK roads, very close to the stock set up, absorbs all rough roads with ease, the cabin noise is close to the stock too

Handling and performance:
Pros
1)The car now can turn in at higher speed, and higher speed in the middle of corner,
2)you can actually feel the FSD works in the bigger bends.

Cons
1) With higher confident and speed in the bend, you might enter the corner at higher speed then the car can do
--> lots of understeering occurs which is not good if you want a quick track time (Maybe i need more time to get used to)
2) FSD works excellent in big corners, but not as much as in the twisky roads
3) If the height can be lower another 1/2 inch would be perfect (But it might ruins the ride quality at the same time)

Sum up:
Excellent balance of ride comfort and performance
Exceptional good value for the price you pay
If you want exterme sport, Koni FSD wasnt really for you (Although i havent tried bilstein myself so cant compare)
sound good to me. But by the time I need to change the shocks I think I have change to the F10

I just made up my mind... I won't mod my e60 no more...

The new MB E-class sucks, but I double confirmed that bmwhk should be able to accept the first order for F10 on or around March/April , ie. delivery could be as fast as Jun/Jul... I will wait for the F10 from now on.

Can anyone tell me how many cylinder is the 535i of F10? kinda hoping the splitfire triple sets would still work on the F10
it is still 6 cylinder
also they are starting to take orders next month but the 1st batch of car will be in Jun/Jul after the April launch
