Hello, happy to be back

Hey guys, took delivery a couple weeks ago of my f32 n20... Happy to be back in a coupe after totaling my E92 n55 and jumping in an x1 n55...

Don't think i'll be doing too much to the car other than some cosmetic modifications (Tint, spacers, front splitter and possibly lower it since Xdrive)

Car came with square 18" tires, any advice on spacers?

Happy to be back

Looking good welcome back

You plan on putting bigger wheels on it before getting spacers?

If you intend to keep the stock wheels and not lower your car at all, then 10/12 mm spacers front/rear would give a good flush look.

I think i will be keeping stock wheels for now. 10/12 is what i was thinking as well!!

If i do lower, what would you suggest? H&R sport springs?
and then what spacers work best with that?

Lots of options if you want to go the spring route to lower. I personally have never lowered on springs so I cannot comment on which ones (H&R, KW, ACS, etc) is better.

In terms of what spacers work best with a drop, it depends on how much you drop your car. I believe on an Xdrive any of the springs will drop the car close to 1". In that case I bet you can go with 12/15mm spacers. For reference, my car (see my sig) is dropped 1.25" from the M Sport suspension height and I have 12/20mm spacers. I intend to change the fronts to 15mm.
