Black & Tan 332iT

The consistent feedback after driving here makes it sound like the braces stop the inherent deflection going through the chassis, essentially like solidifying a bushing. And when you start eliminating each point that 'gives' with it's own respective spring rate then you inevitably start to work the tire and damper themselves more.
(Hmm maybe I just reverse-engineered the secret of the MCL39... 😆)

This certainly does seem to validate precisely the way RACP's fail though!

Yep! Control is the name of the game here. Hard to control the chassis when it's acting as a relatively soft undamped spring.

I trimmed the isofix cover to clean up the install:


And by popular demand, iteration 1 of the stock M3 bumper to CSL intake duct is complete and off to heinzboehmer for a test fit:

Oh amazing! There were a couple of people working on this who then seemed to give up - I was going to get started on designing my own but won't if this is on the way!!! Very exciting!

Yeeep, same. It was on my todo list, but now I get to copy Bryson's homework! Easiest project ever

I'll report back here when it's done printing and I've test fitted it.
