Testimonial - F22 M235i - Dynamics Pack (B-Series Suspension & Quaife LSD) - Connar H

Date: 18/03/2019

Hi James,

I’ve had the chance to cover a fair few miles in my M235i with both the quaife and suspension. The difference between the stock car and as it sits in its B2 specification is night and day. Being genuinely honest, I was very cynical about the kit being any different to others on the market. I weighed up various kits before deciding on this one and I’m in no doubt whatsoever I’ve chosen the right setup for the car.

Aesthetically its given the car almost exactly a 10mm drop front and rear from the standard passive setup and given the car a nice subtle drop which is exactly what i was after. Yet not enough to cause issues with driving places such as catching the bmw performance splitter or from having people in the back. Down B roads the car is just immensely fast and manages to grip to the UKs undulating, crater filled things we call roads. Added with the diff the car is a completely different animal. The grip levels either in bad weather or just spirited driving are huge.

I weighed up selling my M235 to trade in for an M2 as I feel it would bridge the gap from what I actually wanted from my 235. In stock form the 235 bounced around and anything over half throttle in the wet seemed a waste of time. My personal view it seemed an average daily car due to passengers telling me they felt sick sitting in the back due to the rough ride on bad roads and a poor drivers car when driven fast due to the TC always cutting power and the suspension hopping around. Now with the B2 kit fitted even in the wet I’m able to press on in the car and use it to my potential without the thoughts of being thrown into the nearest ditch or hedge. It has allowed the car to become faster, certainty more comfortable and safer from being more predictable and in higher grip in bad weather. Without a doubt the B2 kit has exceeded my expectations in bridging that gap towards the M2 and makes it feel it’s worthy of the “M” in M235i, I don’t just like the M235i now I can safely say I love it. I personally couldn’t recommend this setup enough to anyone with an “mlite” thinking about having it done. It allows for what is already a wolf in sheeps clothing to gain even sharper claws and teeth!

Also wanted to thank both, yourself (James) and Kevin for both your professionalism and the service you’ve provided. Any odd questions I’ve had on various occasions with regards to the kit including how you come to develop the setup, the differences between yours and a b12 kit, the ride height drop over standard etc. Wanting to demo a vehicle on two separate occasions in B2 specification due to still being undecided on suspension setups, nothing seemed too much trouble. Even down to booking me in to have the quaife built into my original casing at very short notice.

Kind Regards,

Connar H
