I was one of the first adopters here in the UK of F8x M3/M4 LCA upgrade on my m135i.
Based on mine and other early adopters feedback, many others have followed suit and not looked back. So, whilst I respect your point of view, don't knock it until you have tried it - its a superb OE upgrade, even for a stock car.
The ~ 15mm longer LCA moves the wheel fwd ~ 1/2 inch and castor and camber is increased with very positive results on steering feel / directness and increased longevity of the soft outer shoulder of std fit Mich PSS.
My car runs ~ -2deg camber and runs straight and true as both a DD and on trackdays. Other upgrades incl LSD, upgraded springs and ARB's.
If you are nearby I'd gladly take you for a blast in it.
Going back to HAS, F2x OE adaptive dampers do respond well to some upgraded springs hence why I think KW are missing a big opportunity - HAS for Mx35i - come KW get it done !!!
