Default Re: I made the switch

Forgot to talk about the brakes. For street driving they are awesome! The cold bite is like dropping an anchor. It probably has more to do with the weight of the car. People who track the car complain of fade and upgrade to big brake kits... but for street driving they sure do have good bite!

The nose length is very difficult to get used to for parking... it's really low and WILL slam into sidewalks and parking cement bumpers... so you have to get to know the nose which is taking me a LOOONG time to get... I end up stopping too far back or WAY too close. It's scary. Just ordered a camera system for the Nav and will most likely make it a front camera versus the traditional rear view camera. Edit.. it will be front AND back. =)

Headlights are not as bright as in the M3. Possibly because they are lower... but they just seem to not be as bright as the M3 even if the M3 was slammed to the ground. I need to make them much brighter!! That will be on the to do list!... oh and the car has horrible looking orange parking lights up front that are always on with the headlights... a euro flash of the LCM will fix that.
