For those lowered...?
How often do you scrap / hit / smash / etc... Your front fascia since you lowered your M5?
I really want the look... But I don't want to worry about smacking my front bumper.

You can lower less and not be slammed like a lot of guys, I have had kw v3s or jr's on all my cars and never had issues other then road bumps or the occasional pot hole
Other then that you get used to knowing the car and being more aware of low clearances If your interested I have a set of new kw v3s for sale cheap Pm me |

I'm lowered on H&R's and honestly I haven't been scraping as much. Let's just say I have some experience lol.
I came from a kitted and lowered G35 coupe, so I had my fair share of creeping up driveways, angling over speed bumps, and remembering those huge dips on the freeways. |

I would suggest going KW HAS if you want to go low but not scrape...
Although, I must add, the H&R drop is subtle. If you are mindful of driveways and the occasional pothole or dip then you will be fine on H&R. Here's Vic55's former F10 M5 lowered on H&R springs (Pics by EAS). |

H&Rs are a good option, I've been running them for 30K with no issues except the parking block issue, but that just takes some thought when parking.

True enough. But boredom quickly changes to familiar interest when you've been apart for a while...

I think it is perfect. No need to go lower. Might have to do with my wheel/tire setup...
