That DFC suspension kicks serious ***!
According to what I've read, with some engine mods, you should be able to beat even an SL 55 around the Nordschliefe! Right, Johann? 
I think one of the salesman at CEC said that an M5 with DFC was turning in something like an 8:10 or 12 or something like that... with that Le Mans driver behind the wheel-- it wasn't Manfred W.
Anyone hear of anything like this? 
Harry, so what ever happened with the DFC group buy? Once things settle down a little later this year, I'd like to get in on it, if it is still available.

Hey, speaking of which, it looks like that last pic was taken on the showroom floor of Cutter Motors in Santa Barbara, where Bimmerfest is held!!!

I think there was a previous post somewhere on this messageboard posting the DFC times around the Nordschliefe compared with the stock car...

There was?
I know we were speculating based on some figures from AMS, and Johann using some of the trap speed numbers to come up with approximate figures...

There was an attempted group buy set up by Angel awhile back. We ended up being short two or three people. I think we needed a total of five to get a great price on the DFC...
Angel - I'm still in for the group buy!!

Hi Tfung,
Could you give some more details, what do you mean on best suspension ever from a practical point of view?
I had my old E34 with EDC. It was really good when skibox was on and at 100 mph no sidewind impact was. Also at high speed on highway curves gave a very stable feeling, this new stock E39 is not so stable.
But at normal city cruising EDC was too hard.
How is with ACS?
Thanks for the advice!!
