I hope God will hear your words!

It really depends. On standard suspension you would still need to change your shocks though.

Now that the Dinan spring/bump stop kit is on the market, there is absolutely no reason to go with the M Performance springs...

Yea, definitely, I would only go with Dinan, but I can't for the life of me figure out how M performance springs would be detrimental to the ride. First they aren't as much of a drop, so that's inherently better for the stock shocks. The only way they could be worse than Dinan is if the spring rate was higher than Dinan and reduced travel too much. But I can't imagine that being the case. In any case, we can take it as a learning experience

Sorry guys! We ordered the springs, but after a few weeks the seller gave back money and said that they can't sell them without full performance suspension kit;(

Ordered h&r sport, waiting

Till this day, with so many options available, I still think MP spring only route has one advantage that is exclusive - retaining adaptive dampening without dropping too much (looking at you KW DDC).

So really disappointed having read 6 pages only to know no one has tried it yet and the worst part is that we dont even know if ordering MP spring only from BMW is possible...
