Do the folks who have fitted the Ohlins coil over shock kit think it was money well spent. By the time I order them over the winter (they are now quoting November for fulfilment of new orders), I suspect they will be over £2500 for the complete kit. Mine is an April 2012 car but not much of that is left. It has had the chassis replaced twice and uses non-adjustable Spax shockers in place of the Suplex originals. I also have the steering comfort kit and use Excelsior Comp H tyres at the front and Yokohama all weather at the rear. My local authorities in France, where it lives, have just resurfaced the road I use more than any other, to go down to the larger towns with a wider range of shops plus a garage with 98 octane fuel. It is now like a billiards table, so not sure how much benefit I would get from the Ohlins. I do know how good they are, as I use them on my Porsche 911 RSR group B rally car but just not 100% convinced by the cost/benefit for the M3W.
I hope that if I do get them, Ohlins pre-sets the best compromise road use bound/rebound damping adjustments. They did this for my Porsche RSR when I fitted them 10 years ago and I have never felt the need to mess with them. I have a friend who cannot resist fiddling with things and after he tweaked the settings on the Ohlins on his Porsche 356 Carrera 2, he has never been able to get them right again - if it ain't broke - don't fix it!
