Soooo happy... no more wheel gap

looks great, as it should come from factory

harry007 · 02-17-2016, 04:56 PM

However be warned. I have the same springs, and they can be very bumpy and annoying. I may one day switch for eibachs. Suppose to be much more smoother. See how it goes?

jayhawk785 · 02-17-2016, 06:54 PM

Mine aren't bumpy at all... but, we have pretty much all asphalt and good roads... then again, they probably have a bit more breaking in too....

Your front lip just clears that step by a miracle haha! Looks great, congrats!

Are they the M5 343s or the M6? Spacers on them?

Lawaia · 02-18-2016, 01:41 AM

Very nice!

Which size spacers?

jayhawk785 · 02-19-2016, 07:54 AM

12mm in front, 10mm in the back

SlammedR8 · 02-20-2016, 07:56 AM

Car looks good!

How is the ride? I've always run H&R Springs myself and haven't had much complaints but for some reason I read a lot of negative stuff on here about bad ride quality with the F10 M5 on H&Rs.

As mentioned above, I've heard the Eibachs do ride smoother...does anyone know if there is a difference in appearance? As in the Eibachs may not lower as much as the H&Rs?

Car looks sweet, is it Space Grey? Can't really tell!

jayhawk785 · 02-20-2016, 11:18 AM

Yep Space Gray--obviously i can't compare the eibachs to h&rs... but they feel fine to me. I don't really notice a lot of ride difference, I always stayed on the stiffer suspension setting so not sure if comfort has more to offer

Maybe they'll change as the break in more--but I can't really see how the eibachs would be any better if they lower the car just as much.

cassidysdad · 02-20-2016, 11:51 AM

looks awesome
love the rkp lip
the only issue is that it will be very easy to destroy it
i only wish there was a way for the sensors to detect low parking blocks or curbs
i on my third

jayhawk785 · 02-20-2016, 11:53 AM

i put the lip on there so i wouldnt destroy the factory pieces

Great looking car. Shawnee, KS guy here and I just picked up an M5.

How's the ride after a month of having it on H&R? In my experience, H&R is a hit or miss when BMW rides. On the F80, it rides great the first 6 months then it gets bouncy.
