edited: although I dont agree with most of what he has to say, I do agree with some of his review such as his opinion on ride quality and the handling.

Definitely agree with the aggressive camber and the resulting tramlining & uneven tire wear.
I'm still happy with mine and I still enjoyed watching the video.

Camber is super aggressive and will chew up tires in less than 10k miles. Going to ask my SA if I can rotate left to right, taking the tire off the wheel. Have done it in the past with my f86.

It's the latter of the two options......Maryland roads aren't subpar to British roads. F97 comp stock was fine in northern Italy; Tuscany and below was a different story. The stock vehicle was unacceptable as a DD here IMHO. MSS springs made it bearable. F95 started from a much more compliant stance, comparitively speaking, but it's still unacceptable for my personal use here. Whenever we discuss acceptable comfort, it's of paramount importance to consider prior acceptance (M3 Heritage) and actual family needs. These factors significantly influence what one is, and is not, willing to accept.

it's a bit odd really as his review of the X5MC was complimentary, including the ride / suspension settings. i'm assuming the X6MC and X5MC have similar ride / suspension set-up.
the X5MC ride is stiffer than my wife's X5 40i with air suspension but it's perfectly acceptable on British roads as in general the main "A" roads and motorways (freeways) are in good condition. it's only really smaller / rural "B" roads where you see more potholes. a little less stiffness with the MSS springs will be welcome, but for me the MSS springs are more about the looks than trying to fix a stiffness issue.

i didn't realise that the spec in different regions could be so different. Yes, the Euro OPF isn't a nice as the US, i did have a peek at the Akrapovic but unlikely i'll be able to stomach the price ... but we'll see
