I think that's f11, not f31

But that's really impressive nevertheless.

No I am on stock shocks and dampers. I recommend doing springs and going from there. ACS springs were specifically specd for these cars and I have had zero issues on stock everything.

Thought I post an updated pic; went from black to a red wrap, lowered on BC coilovers, got some 666 reps. undecided on whether to add the M performance skirt decal. Regardless, I love this car except for that start/stop thing.

What start /stop? Ha. Mine only comes on if I (rarely) out it in eco. Otherwise I push the cancel and always off when I start. Like
In the combo there. Is the M3 original colour?

The M3 is also wrapped. Yep, I work around it by using sport during city traffic, eco for highway duty.

Very nice. Apparently I exceed the limit on the eco mode on the highway

actually I only use it when stuck in traffic.

What’s this ECO mode .... you are talking about??!!!

Thanks. ACS fitted today, keeping standard dampers and 18” runflats. Height is just right - will know more on the ride quality tomorrow. Did you have a 4 wheel alignment after changing the springs? Think I might get it done anyway to be sure it’s right.

Thanks for the help!

I did loads of reading & research but had to just take a gamble & go for it!! 235/40 may be a better fit to tuck the front wheel but allegedly it rubs the wheel wells once lowered.

My shop didn't align because they said it drove dead straight to them. To me as well. Kind of weird I have always done an alignment after a drop but in my case it appears I didn't need one..
