F36 ACS Springs

Wanted a very subtle drop to look as close to OEM as possible so purchased some ACS Springs of another member here. Wheel gap was bugging me. Here is before:



And after:



Ride still feels close to stock not harsh at all. Very happy with the Springs all around.

It certainly reduces the gap between the front bumper and the curb.

Do you have XDrive? That gap seems very large. I have the M Sport suspension and the gap is definitely smaller. I was really leaning towards the ACS springs too but I want something closer to a 1" drop. According to ACS, if you already have M Sport suspension their springs will only drop the car another 0.5-0.6".

No not X-Drive. The picture with the rear wheel gap was taken after the front springs were installed. I had him lower it to take a before pic and I think the rear had to settle and the parking break had to be released so looks higher than normal.
