BTW, regarding B6 vs B8 for M-Sport springs, I read in another thread Bilstein directly recommended B8 to another forum user. I haven't reached out to them yet myself.
BMW advertised a 10mm drop from M Sport with the PS and I would say that's accurate (I have the full performance suspension). You can tell its lower but its honestly the perfect ride height, IMO.

Bilstein has unfortunately not been very clear on what springs pair with what and has given conflicting info over the years. I think the current consensus is that Performance Springs will work with the B8, and the M Sport Springs fall into a middle ground of either B6 or B8.
I had the B8s with the BMWP springs and everything fit fine, but there was a member from a while back who said he had a conversation with Bilstein and they said "to use B6s with coils that drop 30mm or less and B8s with coils that drop greater than 30mm."

The confusion continues. lol
