Took a few weeks to get these as they were on a slow boat from Germany(were on back order), but they are finally here! Arrived Tuesday, installed Wednesday.
IMPRESSIONS: I was pretty nervous that the ride would be extremely harsh given the fact that the OEM setup is the stiffest ride(aside from the Z4Mcoupe maybe) of any M car I've owned. I don't know how, but it actually feels a little less harsh to me. The 'turn-in' is more sharp and without any delay whatsoever. There is less lean around corners and it just feels more planted. The drop was measured from the center of the hub to the wheel well with a 0.85" drop in the front and a 0.50" in the rear. Not huge on paper but the appearance is more dramatic than I expected. Perfect stance IMO. An alignment was done and the rear Camber and Toe were corrected. Front Camber was still within tolerance so I don't think I will get any camber plates. I have included a few iPhone pics right after install while I gassed up last night. (better pics to follow)
