I think that description is a little suspect. If you hop a curb at 70, your car is getting jacked up.

It's 70kph, not mph. As a delivery driver I take curbs at 70kph every day, modern suspensions can take that without issues

Im pretty sure you don't know what a curb is.

Taking a curb at 43 mph doesn't sound right unless the curbs where you live are tiny

German curbs, they are about 10cm high. Don't know how that compares to other countries curbs

Ooh you're right I misread. Still probably not great for a BMW, but doable.
