Is it true that the cab has a lower ride hieght than the coupe and saloon`s ?
The springs and shocks on the rear are new and were bought for the cab and the front sits well and balanced with the rear.
I dont have any issues with the look of her , I really like how she stands, also there are no problems on the roads as in speed bumps etc, but it seems bloody low to get in and out of compared to my previous coupes.
Like I said I dont have any issues with her , just curious.

Are you sure it isn’t an ageing issue with two key components? Your hips and knees... 😂😂

The knee`s are very good and both hip`s have been exchanged but the age thing proberbly/definately has a beiring on it big style :cool: :cool:
My last 330 M sport coupe sat a bit higher and even her indoors remarked on how low down it seemed to look at the side of other cars in the car park whilst on holiday in September. 8) 8)
To be fair, most of the other cars were "European Trainers!!!!"
Not really sure if I took the picture with the "blemish" :o: :o:
(It is a cool ride though winkeye winkeye )
