Re: German to US Conversion
Actually, the Euro CSi was never fitted with any active suspension aids. Electronic Damping Control (EDC) was fitted to other models but not standard on the Euro CSi.
What it does have is Automatic Stability Control and Traction (ASC+T). It works so well that when you turn it off (via a switch) the CSi turns into even more of a wild beast - a lot of fun, in the right hands.
The Euro CSi also has Rear Wheel Active Kinematics (AHK) - or active rear wheel steering. Not standard on the US CSi. This, along with very low suspension and massive tyres improves handling, especially quick direction changes, like high speed lane changes.
I love my CSi. It is a remarkable car and IMO, possibly the best car BMW have ever made. After owning all sorts of sports cars and grand tourers the CSi poise and subtle aggressive styling (///M bodykit) still gives me goosebumps - and attracts stares and comments from not only older people but youngsters as well.
If you can get a Euro verion, you won't be disappointed.
