I did with ecs, but honestly I dont even know if they were correct, they looked like stock grey springs.

I would check with another supplier, like getbmwparts.com. Tell them you want the BMW Performance springs that go with your car and give them your VIN and see what they say. They are very reputable and will tell you the correct P/Ns.

Like Esteban said use GetBMWParts

ORDERED through getbmwparts.com they got it right by VIN, ECS came back after the corrected themselves and Turner... they still understand looking up the VIN even though it says so right on their freaking order page...

Thank you very much for the help!!! btw, do you have a picture of what they look like on your car?

Haha, that's hardly low. Thought the ride height was just about perfect.

You are not even close. That is a very conservative drop from the stock M Sport suspension, about 1/2 inch, actually probably a little less than that.
