    In the Netherlands it is almost impossible to drive at normal speed when leaving the main roads. Trafficramps everywhere! When driving I have to reduce speed to almost zero to avoid serious damage. This is very irritating for me and traffic behind me. My 328 has standard hight and tires.
    Question:
    I'm searching for electical adjustable shockadsorbers (like Lamborghini has) or something like that. Where to find? Are there other ways to highten my car while driving?

    I've never come across any mention of a way to raise/change a 3x8's ride height while in flight.

    Not quite sure what 'trafficramps' are, possibly what we call 'speed bumps' here in the states. ie: raised asphalt strips about 3" high across the road?

    Thanks Verell. They are so-called speedbumps and raise about 20 cm. with an angle of 30 degrees. There are many variations in speedbumps. There's no standard hight.

    Our speed bumps on this end of the pond are 2 inches at times. :(

    I learned about non-std the hard way, just finished repairing the chunk one took out of my Euro spoiler a couple of years ago...

    Wasn't any doubt about the speed bump I hit, stopped & looked. It was about 1/8" higher than the front of my Euro spoiler!

    A couple of months later it was replaced with one about 3/4" lower, so it was exceptionally high. I should have asked the city to pay for repairing my spoiler.
