When is your track day? I would like to hear how is the car behaving on the limit with this suspension.

Thanks!

Maybe a link? FB! New to me :-/

Anyone know typically how long Litchfield continue suspension for a particular car once they've developed it?

Just thinking ahead, will it still be available in 2/3/4/5 years etc?

bmwv · 03-22-2021, 07:16 PM

I pinged them on FB, no reply.

Irritating. There are pros and cons to this social media lark but if you're going to bother as a company to use it be prepared for actual questions.

I think he is saying we should ask M2C Plus if a group buy is a possibility. I'd be in.

I saw that Chris Harris has moved to a M2 CS and he is planning to have Litchfield do some work on it. He had high praise for the suspension on the M2 Comp.

It would be interesting to see what Litchfield does to the CS adaptive suspension.

Probably nothing? Apart from changing out springs what can they do?

Perverse thing is all reviews say the CS is the most comfortable daily M2!

Imagine BMW had their time again and put adaptive on from the get go...like VW do with their 40% cheaper cars:d

I guess they could change the sway bars, springs, and bump stops. I remember when they came out with a firmware update for the 228i when using the optional adaptive suspension to match lowering springs. Unfortunately they were never able to hack the adaptive firmware on the M235i. That is a big reason I sold mine.

They will fit EDC Adaptive cancelation kit and fit the same kit he had on his M2C.

I organised a group buy with Litchfield after having my Nitron kit fitted, it was for the UK M2 Competition owners facebook group.

It was a discount on 5 kits fitted at Litchfield, all kits sold in 24hrs.

3t3p · 03-28-2021, 10:22 AM

Were savings anything to write home about? How do car group buys work does everyone individually pay the garage or is the idea that one lump-sum pot is generated and submitted?

If that is how they customize the CS suspension then that doesn't say much for the adaptive dampers.

BMW Adaptive dampers vs custom spring rates & custom dampers.....I know exactly which I would choose.

Nice,

How about helping us Yank's (and anyone else) with a group buy.

mrcheezle19 · 03-28-2021, 08:09 PM

I'd be interested in a group buy pending price and ETA.

From what I understood, Chris was running the Bilsteins on the M2c. Can you confirm with Ian.

Rang Litchfield today.

Not going to do more group buys and yes I name dropped OP of thread

Wasn't sure if Bilstein comes with dust boots or covers but thought they did.

Recommended me Bilstein as fit and forget/Daily driver customer

Minimum drop is 10-15mm he thought. Reassured would not scrape/be an issue with daily driving and speed bumps

Thought warranty was one year but maybe two

They are hoping to get good availability going again in June/late June at worst.

@M2C_PLUS any more thoughts/drives with the new suspension?

Chatted to the him yesterday after his TD at Caldwell Park during the week and the Lfield Nitrons didn't disappoint.
