I have H&R sport springs on my F30 328i. Overall they are a good product but I wont be putting them on my M235i.

The ride with the H&R's is almost exactly the same as stock. The look is MUCH better than stock. I can't say that my car handles better with them but it doesn't handle worse.... more or less the same.

My issue with the springs is probably not the fault of H&R, it the fact that the dampers on the car and the springs have to be compatible. They have to work together. The H&R springs and the stock BMW shocks don't like each other. Specifically when going over bumps or dips, the car "crashes" through them in a way that upsets the car. That is my only issue. That didn't happen with the OE springs. Many people (including me) use aftermarket springs to lower their cars because it's very inexpensive compared to coilovers. Now I know the reason why.
