My BSM 2012 F30 335i Sport on H&R Sport Springs
I already had the sport suspension so the springs lowered it roughly one inch. The ride and handling are fantastic. Tested it on a 575km trip through the mountains on some pretty curvy roads This pic was about half way through the trip so the car was a bit dirty.
Other mods include M sport grills, body colour whiskers and body colour plate frames. MPPK is on order (rather, on backorder). I'm thinking of getting 5mm spacers to bring the wheels out just a bit more. Anyone else done this combo? |

I don't have any other pics after I lowered it, but here is a pic before it was lowered. I'll take more when I'm back in town. |

More pics as requested. Took these with iPhone 5 on a recent roadtrip through BC wine country. The car was a bit dirty, again.
And then one pic from a driver training course I took. The car looks like a hot black blob. I love it. |

I should also note that this is the best highway car I've ever driven for this one reason: everybody gets out of my way. I don't know why but the moment I pull up behind someone they change lanes and let me zoom past. Its wild!

you really don't have any problems with ride quality?

Nope. I prefer the ride quality now. With the sport suspension and RFT 19" performance tires the ride was already quite firm. It really doesn't feel much firmer, just lower and with less body roll in the corners.

With my m sport suspension and 19"RFTs (same car/setup as OP), the ride is quite rough on our crappy roads. Interesting to hear that lowering yours with springs has not made it much worse. |
