@SAMLAMBO: If you look at an Li when it is parked, you will notice that the rear end is actually quite a bit lower then when the engine is running. That's because the SELF LEVELING suspension will equalize the car to get the car to the correct height!

Also, if you add more passengers in the back or put a lot of heavy stuff into your trunk, again the SELF LEVELING suspension will adjust the rear suspension to level the car and maintain it that way!

I love your reactions.

This was the spoiler of my E36 M3. I had just put it carefully on the boot just to take a picture.

Any mods to that diesel engine? Where can you get software for that? Thanks!

The 40d has just been updated to 313hp and 630NM. Software updates perhaps?
