Question Stiffer setup for a M550i

I'm looking for a firmer ride with a M550i. The car inn't going to be tracked or autocrossed or anything like that. I don't want a "slammed" look either. If it drops it a bit, fine, but I'm mainly looking for a firmer ride.

Would something like the Dinan springs plus the Ride Quality & Handling Kit be my best bet or what?

The conclusion I came to in my research was the Dinan springs were the way to go - stiffer and minimized drop (Dinan confirmed 15mm). Unfortunately, with the splitter on the front I can't go 15mm drop or I'll have problems in the winters here.

Thanks. It has a stock front splitter so I should be OK.

Have either of you actually installed the dinan springs and bump stops? How's the ride? I'm mainly using this as a luxury car, but wouldn't mind a little sport....thinking of the whole Dinan Package to be honest.

I can't speak to the G30, however I installed the Dinan springs and stops on my F10, I liked the ride and handling and it didn't take away from "luxury" feel of the car
