In Reply to: Self-Leveling: Why not keep original system? posted by ///Slider on May 19, 2002 at 08:02:42:
Gents,
I've scoured the archives here and elsewhere, and have seen a LOT of great dialogue concerning the self-leveling system, and ways of getting around the expense of replacing the stock factory setup.
I guess the one question that has remained with me is this: why wouldn't it be worth the effort and expense to just repair/replace the original setup? Obviously, costs seem to be a major factor here (if not THE major factor), but given that BMW went to the trouble of designing a system specifically for the E34 M5, wouldn't this still be the preferred setup? Is there a perception afield that the system has never really performed "as advertised"?
What am I missing? Will Bilsteins, et al. deliver superior performance -- or just comparable performance for a fraction of the price? Just how expensive IS it to replace the original system, anyway? (I'm a U.S. soldier in Germany working on a U.S. spec M5 which is currently at the "small leak" stage.) Lots of questions, I'm afraid, but this is one of those situations where a misstep would really compromise the car. TIA for any assistance.
