No errors or any issues so far!

It's the M-Performance spoiler.

Plenty of room for spacers, but I don't plan on getting them (since I have VMR wheels already), so I do not know what will look best.

The VMR V705 wheels I'm getting are 18x8 +45 all around. They are getting powdercoated, so I can't wait to get them on!
Are you doing a square setup? What tire size?

Yeah, it's square 18x8 +45. It currently has stock tires on it now, but I plan to get 235s front and 255s (or 265s) rear when I'm through with the PSS.

I'm used to daily driving my GT3 and R35 GTR (with KW suspension), so the ride quality of this car even with the springs is obviously much better than those two cars, so my perspective might not really match up with the users on this forum who are looking for maximum comfort, in which case, you shouldn't be modifying your suspension/exhaust/etc anyways.
Just ordered a set of these myself and can't wait to get them on but just curious, bouncier feeling than stock? Is it constant like a floaty feeling or just over bumps and things in the road?

Also when are you putting the new wheels on. Can't wait to see what that looks like.

It's just bouncier over bumps and what not. Otherwise, it still rides as smooth as stock.

I've got my wheels on already, but haven't had time to take photos yet!

Alright. It looks great so I think a bit bouncy is okay. And alright get pics up when you can! I ordered the springs and 12mm spacers for the front and 15mm for the rear, which I'll have on with stock wheels for now. Very excited.

Any issues with M Adaptive Suspension? Like is it more stiff in sport mode and less soft in comfort mode after installing the springs?

I'm pretty sure that would still work as that is related to the shocks as opposed to the springs regardless if their oem or h&r/eibach/any aftermarket spring, i think.

After a month now, how do you like the ride quality? Bouncy still?

The bounce was already very minor (most people would not be able to feel it in the majority of road conditions), but now I can't really detect any. Either I got used to it or it really did go away, can't really say.

Op

I have hr springs on my m135i

Stance level



Ride not bouncy at all.

Have you experimented with tyre pressures as tauter chassis and low profile tyres are sensitive to psi.

I have not, but the ride was barely more bouncy that before. I wouldn't be surprised if other people did not notice the extra bounciness. It is very subtle and can only be (barely) felt in certain situations.
