Does anyone have any thoughts on what size/brand i should go with next?
In addition to this, the car is at 97k miles and i feel like the shocks and struts could probably be replaced to help as well. what would you guys recommend going with? as i said before it is xdrive and does have EDC. it’s pretty much a daily, i don’t want to go super low but i do want to get rid of some gap while also keeping ride quality in mind. i also can’t quite afford to get the absolute best of the best coilovers at the moment.
-Any advice is much appreciated, i’ve been trying to figure out what to do for months ��

Agree with
alohasurftoad - you need 245/40 min on those alloys
I run 235/45/18s on my 18x8 405Ms (Goodyear Assym 6s as summer tyres) and 397s (Goodyear all-seasons as winters), to avoid the OEM 225/45 size as it's slightly stretched and not the best width IMO
I've also just fitted Bilstein B4S shocks and Eibach pro-kit springs to my F31; pic as below so you can see the tyres and ride height etc; it's much, much better now!
