Why do you think that they blacked out the lower area in the picture, which is the area that matters the most ? Because the car front becomes too close to the ground after lowering ! This is what I noticed from the day I saw the F30 in pictures, and then it was confirmed when I saw it in person.
Also look at this picture from this thread: http://www.f30post.com/forums/showpo...8&postcount=29 Lowering the F30 = driveability fail.

Shame on everyone putting such ugly a** rims on his BMW.
Original is always way more classy. Last edited by ts61gogo; 02-26-2012 at 07:05 AM.. |

Although the BMW OEM 20" performance black rims/tires with red ring looks ghetto. : IMHO, the best looking rims are from the M-sport version of the F30. Especially, the 19" ones... /rant & let's not high-jack the entire thread with rims discussion. |

First, it's different tastes to different people. What do you like does not mean that others like. And the other way around. Second, and most important, the OEM wheels are made by human designers. These people are not wheel Gods. They can screw up some wheel designs big time, as well as they can create impressive wheel designs. There are other wheel designers working for other companies like BBS, OZ, etc. making just as nice looking wheels. BMW does NOT own the monopoly on good wheel designers. It wouldn't be logical. And third, there are some people who are plain BMW worshipers. They cannot see anything good outside what BMW does.

Now, don't come back with an argument that affinity towards good design is subjective. Yes and No. Good designers tend to come to an agreement. And that is not completely subjective. Same thing applies to any art - paintings, photography, music, poetry, etc... good stuff always rises to the top. That said, I am about to refute my own argument with Justin Bieber...now we all can agree that shit sucks, although it is popular lol. Peace...all of this is partially subjective. Walk in peace bro.

It is not just the wheels. Isn't it obvious that original parts fit the best because they origin directly from the designers who have also designed the car itself? I find it kind of disrespectful to replace original parts by some awfully designed tuner ones. Of course there are also nice wheels and so on but IMO nothing beats the orginal ones. |

I wonder how the lowering springs cope with the Sport Line F30s shipping with the adaptive dampers. This would actually be my first concern. Would the dampers have to be re-programmed?
I'm really interested to see if they will bring out an M-Sport X-Drive with the adaptive dampers and if it will still retain the ride height of the regular RWD models. I just hope BMW doesn't shoot themselves in the foot again with this. We need an S4 rival and the 335 x-drive cannot do it without suspension upgrades.

We spoke with H&R on these springs today. They are still at least a month out by their estimate, as least for the USA market. We are trying to get a set early by air for you guys to give some feeback and photos of the stance

No recoding needed. Nice man. Although we have the car lowered, I still prefer coilovers over any springs. I had springs on the m3 for 2 years and bought KW coilovers after. I wish I could have went with KW coilover to begin with. |

I prefer the coilovers for more aggressive driving and the track no doubt, but for a car thats a year-round all climate car ( we have winters here, haha ) Springs are a nice alternative for many of our customers that want no fuss lowering.
