F8x LCAs installed on my m135i by Birds in the UK.

Tracking adjusted but ran out of time to get L & R camber changes checked but it's circa an extra 1 deg negative. Will get alignment re checked in a couple weeks.

Stance looks even better IMHO with a v slight extra poke ie wheel faces more flush with wheel arch. No rubbing even with 8" wide et34mm wheels.

Initial feel is good but only driven round the 'burbs so looking fwd to my blat up to N Wales this w/end.

UPDATE :-

Managed to sneak out 1st thing to meet up with Cayman S driving chum for a fast thrash round evo triangle.



Hence grubby car. One slight-ish issue I have is my wider/et34mm front wheels are positioned slight further forward in relation to wheel arch. On v fast bumps it rubs at about the one o clock position in the photo below. Bit of a dilemma as I really like the grippier front end and steering feel.



As a comparison, front wheel position in wheel arch pre F8x LCA install
