Spent the weekend installing my H&R springs and love the way they turned out! Right height is perfect and doesn't have a noticeable compromise in ride quality.

Can't figure out why they're uploading sideways though... any help with that is much appreciated!

Looking good in RED!!!

Based on those pics; it appears you used M550i springs?? Is this correct because myself and many others have used the F90 H&R's and they dont have that drop in the rear.

I was told by my shop, M550 springs would effect the car. He said base off weight and some other stuff, that’s why H&R made two types of springs?
Also, he said with the new front lip spoiler adding and extra 2” lower in front you will have a hard time with F90 M5 springs not dragging or hitting speed bumps and if you install M550 springs you risk damage to your car and destroying any front lip? He said if you want the front lip and be safe you should keep stock springs or go with a ride adjustable kit?
Anyone else heard this? I saw pictures of Miko front lip and it’s very low with F90 M5 H&R springs. I like lip and I like drop, but must decide which one mean more at this point??

If you could do me a favor, get the part # off the box....there are two options for the M5: one for the CE and one for the regular M5 and guess what- they are the same part #. Which makes us all wonder WTF H&R has been doing.

But clearly your gap in the rear is not what we have seen. So either they fixed it or I have no idea. The part # on the box will reveal alot.

Here is a picture of mine springs that have a number on the springs. Will post pictures of the box too.
BTW with H&R Springs That are for M550 you get additional 1/2 drop in the rear is about 3/4 more. So obviously 1/2 inch won't really be that dramatic for front splitter.
Total clearance for splitter I have now is 4.5" so you would be at 4.25 counting same 20" wheels

I rather close wheel gap than have the body of the car look closer to the ground. IMO I don't like when I see a car with a front lip that looks low to the ground but the car has a 2 inch gap.

I just want when I install my 21's, there's no wheel gap.

Are these H&R ///M550 springs on your F90 M5 or H&R F90 M5 springs??? You never answered the question, the other members asked. Please shed some light on this issue ///M550 or F90 M5 springs??
I will lower my car and find another front lip. I love the RPK on but my drive way will kill it, and $1200 dollar wasted!

Sorry, for mix-up. I meant ChrisG_RBP what set-up is he using with the red F90 M5? Do you have M550 or F90 M5 H&R springs?

They are the M550i springs. After speaking with Wheels Boutique over the phone, they assured me through their contact at H&R, the springs would make the car sit lower with no negative effects.

I used the M550i H&R springs. M5 springs weren't for sale yet when I first ordered them. This was right after Wheels Boutique posted photos of their blue M5.

I don't. The car has been out having clear bra installed, but comes back today. Is there something specific you'd like to see?
