Thanks for getting back to me

I'm on bilstein b8s with stock springs I believe and going to put some 437m's on but having a hard time seeing what springs to put on and I think yours sits perfect but I believe apart numbers are different as you're RWD?

This is the web catalogue that you need, and you'll need to know your axle weights!

Mine are the 28878-4 version.

Update - REAR KIT.

I’ve been working on this in the background with Vagbremtechnic (VBT) for some time now. There have been various unexpected delays due to their workload and this been something of a passion project that they had agreed to work on as and when they had spare time.

However, the wait was well worth it and it now completes the look and feel of the car. The set up is as follows:

F87 M2 Comp 2NH / F8x CCB 4 pot brake calipers
VBT custom machined steel mounting brackets
F87 M2 Comp 2NH 380mm rear discs
F87 M2 Comp 2NH brake pads
HEL performance braided lines

Notes: this rear set up will only work on F3x cars with the larger 185mm diameter hand brake. If your car has the smaller 165mm version - this would not be suitable as you would loose your handbrake option!

I am super happy with how it all turned out!

Quick update - made an effort today to go and get some proper pics taken of the car!

2 months on since the rear brake upgrade, and they are excellent.

I have also carried out a full Bang & Olufsen retrofit into the car over the last few months along with full sound deadening inside the doors and door cards. Its 1200w of OEM goodness and blows the HK out of the water!

Anyway, the pics!

Amazing car. What do the B&O speakers look like?
How many miles have you done now? Still looks new!

The B&O speakers have gold cones - they look really nice behind the speaker grilles!

Cars done 49k miles now - I am really anal when it comes to the paintwork, try to keep it looking in shape!

Nice pics^^^^^

Spotless, V. nice

Your GB sticker is a spoiler though & is out of date

[blau3er]

Yes the GB should now be UK.

I’ve just left it on there after I took it over into Europe about 4 years ago now - almost like a memento.

Probably should take it off…..

[originally replied via the App] blau3er your most recent updates (whatever they are - they aren’t displaying) are crashing the Bimmerpost App. I’ve tried to view several times, and the App crashes every time.

No other threads are behaving this way.

I've just had my 18" 405ms refurbed as the satin black on them made their details look lost on my F31; but those Apex alloys on yours suit the colour so much better

Probably because they're no where near as busy
