It is a good idea to get used to the car and test it properly before deciding to upgrade. As drivers, we have different driving styles, abilities and preferences. One driver can find the car too stiff, and another can find it too soft.

In many cases, people want the suspension setup as they are used to from a previous car. Maybe they had some coilovers on it, and want the same on the new car. If they had gotten used to the stock setup, there is a chance that they would grow to like it, and that the car performs better than with the coilovers.

The chassis engineers at BMW do know what they are doing. I remember one of them was asked if the BMWs were set up for the average driver. He replied that they were not. They were set up for the average BMW driver. Big difference! :-)
