But of course driving style remains a significant factor.
And while the adaptive DDC coilover kit is available for EUR 3.399, the BBS CI-R Unlimited light alloy wheels in Racing Gold with a black collision protection ring and the Goodyear Eagle F1 tires in 245/35 R20 and 255/35 R20 offer another visual treat.
