yes, hard to beat the computer. in any case, what u will find is that if you do go into a corner on the limit, the computer will think u are skidding and apply the brakes regardless of whether dsc is on or off which is fcuking annoying.

BMW say you need to press the dsc for a few sec to turn it all off.

with the bilsteins and that lowered centre of gravity, your beemer has unparalleld smoothness going into and coming out of bends, i think its the lowest E60 in HK???? the other guys have coilovers but didn't lower as much as Mark's beast?
i mean without the new wheels,but with the quads and sb i was able to keep up with Mike Keith and Capt18 up TMS, not overtake but keep up, don't forget it's the Valvetronic, which is the vtec.
two BMW technicians tested the car to be the same performance as a standard 530i, with faster pickup due to the SB but missing the ultimate power push in midrange.

Capt 16... i am lucky in that I am free all nights...and all sunday mornings too. No responsibilities... no family...no kids.... i can do whatever i want, whenever i want. I can buy whatever i want, whenever i want! 
Regardless if i like to drive fast or not, i can still make tonight! just let me know when and where!
I will be down at AK's straight after work as my rear light needs some attention to. Brakes should be ready and installed tomorrow.
