M Performance springs with adaptive m suspension?

Really need help... Is it possible to keep the adaptive m suspension when installing M performance springs? Or do I need to buy the car without adaptive m suspension if i choose the m performance springs?

The car in thought is a 340i xdrive btw. Im after a lower ride and also a firmer ride all over.

Any other options in mind?

Thx!

The M Performance Suspension (from which the M Performance springs are a part of) isn't designed for an xDrive vehicle. I'm not sure the springs would fit.

Even if they did fit, the M Performance springs would more than likely not be matched to the stock DHP dampers.

I've been told today by BMW Sweden, that they now have the M suspension springs fitted for xdrive since a couple of days. But my dealer dont know if i have to order the car without the adaptive m suspension if i choose to go with the springs instead...

Well, I spoke to BMW Sweden yesterday and it will require coding but it will work, so i ordered the car with adaptive m suspension and bought the m performance springs aswell. Date for delivery is set to first week in april. M performance installation (MPPK and lots of other stuff as brakes, springs etc) will take about a week, after that i'll post pics and a review of the car. Its a F31 340i xdrive.

Thanks JR70,

I have a '15 F30 335i M-Sport it Adaptive M suspension with DHP on 19" 442M wheels. Would like to keep all mods OEM+ if possible. With that said, I'd Ike to modify with factory upgrade/accessory springs and retain the adaptive suspension. Looking forward to your results

Ps: what exactly is the coding for?

I have a '14 F32 435i with DHP on 19" and I'm interested too in the possibility to install M Performance OEM spings
It could be a good idea also to find the product code of Eibach springs of Alpina B3/B4...

I actually dont know but my guess is the adaptive suspensions must be set according to the new spring settings?

I'll get something up soon for sure...

I wouldn't wait on the m-perf. I suspect they will never be released for the xdrive cars.

Quick pic from the refueling stop this evening. Car is filthy but what do you expect from 13 straight days of rain.

Just to recap... LCI 328d xdrive w/ m adaptive suspension on ACS springs. Thanks to David@Tag Motorsports for the easy stateside hookup on the springs!
