From what I understand by talking to a few members, the RWD cars with M Sport suspension are 20mm lower all-around at the highest setting(Bilstein claims 30mm) and for xDrive Bilstein claims it is 30mm lower, resulting in the same ride height for both RWD M Sport Suspension and xDrive. Just trying to get some numbers from people who have actually installed it.
EDIT: It makes sense though, my bad, Bilstein numbers are for cars with base suspension which implies for M Sport suspension there would be 10mm difference to account for the already existing 10mm drop
I believe the drop on my car should be similar to the cars with M Sport suspension due to similar ground clearance(5.1" vs 5.5").
P.S. How do you like the coilovers? Any concerns? I know the ride will be firmer but I'm ok with that, as long as it doesn't bottom out or cause any other issues.
