Motor Trend article on the new M2

If I had a valve for every time someone crapped on an M20, i'd have an M50 swap.
This is amazing

Wally, I appreciate your insight and perspective, very valid points which I can agree with. The ride height thing is something I was not aware of and makes a lot of sense for the stock ride height of an e21. I hope the fact that some on here see the e21 as a dud doesn't anger you as much as it may seem like from reading your post. If I had a valve for everytime someone crapped on an M20, i'd have an M50 swap.
Snap,
I don't know for an absolute fact they were doing that on the US e21's. I do know there was such a requirement and other European manufacturers were raising ride height to meet the height. I also know there was an article in Bimmer Magazine about how to make your 320i handle, one of the mods was to use euro 323i springs and it was noted that lowered the ride height ~3/4" with a stiffer rate. The strut housings are different between the 320i and 323i, so take that FWIW.
Thanks,
Wally
