Question for guys with EARLY 2014 435i on H&R sport or supersport springs

I know I've seen many threads and pictures with 435i using H&R Sport and super sport spring; however when I check tirerack it states that the springs are not compatible with the early 435i (built before March 2014). I know tirerack isn't the ultimate authority on fitment, but I'm still very curious to know why they might state this on their website.

I called H&R to ask, only to be put on hold. Their website says they are compatible with 2014-2015 model years.

So the questions is, does anyone here have an early 435i with H&R springs?
If so, are you experiencing any issues or did you (or your tech) have any issues while installing?

Advice is greatly appreciated.

I have a 2014 428i (build 2/14) with supersports that were originally purchased for an F30

H&R on 2014 F32

sorry for the quality of the pic. but here's H&R sports on my 435 xdrive.
they are on 18" blizzak winters right now. No issues. I used 12mm and 15mm spacers. You will feel the bouncy ride but after driving for few days i got used to it. But I can tell on stock 19 staggered wheels it will be tricky with the stock suspension. I think I will probably get Blisteins in summer.

thanks for the input guys.

Ashbmw, what year is your car? Do you know if it was built before March of 2014?

Hey ashbmw you kept all the suspension stock and changed just the spring? was it a tricky install?

I don't have dhp but the install was really simple got it done from the shop took hardly an hour. my advise if its xdrive make sure u don't have the stock suspension...too bouncy and front crash...with f30s rwd its still better some how 435 derives are way too bouncy with stock suspension and h&r...
