That's absolutely stunning! Perfect stance and colours as well

What are the wheel specs if you don't mind me asking?

Coilovers or shocks/lowering springs?

Thanks.

You'll have to have a look through some of my older posts, I genuinely cannot remember the offset. 19x8.5 front, 19x9.5 rear, 15mm F & 12mm R.

As for suspension, Bilstein B14's.

Haha You need to nerd up more

I've added you to my new F31 UK Insta account FYI

How are you finding the B14s?

They're in my 'list' for when I come to refresh my F31s suspension in the New Year (once BMW warranty has expired) along with a few other bits

[BIFCAIDS]

I really like them, they're firm but comfortable. Totally different from the crashy M-Sport suspension. I've had them on the car for 30k now and they've been brilliant.

TBH I find out F31 on M Sport, non adaptive suspension rides superbly; that may be down to the very light 18" 405Ms (which I do wonder if they're forged as they're only c9kg) and the Goodyear non RFT tyres

It didn't drive the best on the OEM 19 403Ms with Bridgestone RFTs; I was so happy to bin them the weekend I got the car haha

The B14s and ST coilovers are on my watch list; as is the B12 kit too...

I’d add KW street comfort to your list - really happy with them

[tj_g]

KW Street Comforts - front is a little low (rubs on the FL) 330d x drive

The tanzanite F30 335d is on stock adaptive M Sport

(Both are Stage 1 and interesting side by side)

On my list too; but they may ride a little too low for what I'm after; whereas the B14s and STs can be set at more or less factory height from what I've read...

But they do get rave reviews etc

mine is the F31 and the F30 is my brother’s - rare chance that we were together with enough time to wash them. Unfortunately not enough time to take them for a spin.

Great weather today ☀️ - bit too hot for washing really

Finally grabbed a set of silver 437m alloys, haven’t seen too many of them in this colour so really happy with the find! Freshly cleaned too

Lovely, really like them in that colour 👌🏼

275’s in the rear - nice and wide. Guessing you are RWD?

RWD 440i, fits perfectly at the rear, fronts do seem to poke a little but it doesn’t bother me enough to get different tyres (fronts are 255)

[tj_g]

That’s a nice setup (275/255)

The 265 rear and 235 front are a little stretched but OK overall I think.

The lower ride height helps with the poke, especially at the front where the camber really kicks in. I need to raise the front as it rubs in compression at speed on a bumpy road. Plus at full lock there’s an ever so slight rub, but nothing to be bothered about. The compression rub is definitely enough to need to raise it tho!

I think yours look spot on as they are 👍🏼

Looking good as well 👌🏼 initially I had 35s at the back but moved up to 40 to fill the gap a bit more. I’m considering doing it to the front at some point, but I think it may look a bit too chunky with 40s on the front

Nice splitter. Where did you get that from?
Who makes it?

Thanks
