Thread: Advice to a new D2a ownwer

IMHO the suspension does not have the articulation of a D1 with anti roll bars as the front roll bar particularly is quite thick.

Of course if you buy one with active anti roll it disconnects the bars in low range.
Having said that the electronic traction control makes it relatively unimportant to have great articulation, as I found it great on Wombat holes where a wheel can be 300cms off the ground and still drive on..
Its all a trade off.
Despite what journalists say I think a D2 is quite stiff in roll on the highway even with no active anti roll. BMW thinks we all need to drive sports cars.

There is an anti roll bar disconnect kit available in the States.

WOW, that's a long way off the ground. I'm sure you mean 300mm not 3 metres. That would be awesome articulation.

OK when I was young I have had a wheel 1metre off the ground but I must admit not 3Metres.

I've had my wheels around three metres off the ground. Have a look at my avatar.
