No
Good
Yes

Such a shame, I've done about 300 miles and 230 of them were getting it home!

Ride comfort is firm but great. On a par with M cars but not as bouncy as mini JCW Pro suspension.

Car has had lots of glances on the days I have been out. I think the (to BMW) new colour and overall lowered and wide stance has a few wondering what it is. Delivery guy took pictures on my driveway WTf!

About to sell my wheels on Friday and that gets back 1/2 my cost for upgrades so far.

TBH I'm not sure I'll do much more with the car now until I work out which tune and how to get pops, but I might enjoy the warranty for some tilme more first!

Good to know, I was looking at getting the eibach suspension at a later stage. The stance looks great. Even with the standard m sport suspension it is quite firm like you mentioned yours is.

I had a thought that the pops and bangs might be restricted by the opf and not software..

Still rooted to the driveway but wow what a rainstorm. Would be great testing out the X Drive on these greasy roads.

For once the iPhone camera isn't doing this justice. Tropical Storm Bay Metalic!

Have put 3 coats of wax on mine now since lockdown and kind of wanting to get it out of the garage in the rain to see the beading. Never had so much time to spend perfecting a car clean! This must be what it’s like having a Weekend car to take to meets etc. Normally I rock up at events at the end of my working week with a filthy car!

Just been dropped 25mm all round today, should get between another 5-10mm once it's settled.

Totally blaming this mod on Chris!

As Chris said, love to see more pics when you can...

Out of interest what springs did you go with?

This will be my first mod once we are a bit more certain about our jobs (and holiday - or not?) in the next couple of months.

Only half hour drive to Motech too which is a bonus

I'm thinking of getting the motech 003 springs which are a bit higher at the back.

25mm front 20mm rear.

Only problem is that motech don't ship international ☹

So! Ride is exactly what Chris describes it, not harsh but I totally feel the difference. Still comfortable when just out & about.

Nailed it yesterday on a good road and it proper hugged the contours of the road...Amazing just doesn't cover it!!

Big thanks to Chris for his advice and heads up on set up over emails, much appreciated pal!.

My springs are from MoTech, Eibach 25mmF-25mmR.

Was out today and the looks I was getting!!! Just awesome.
