Stock height F80

eskanday · 06-17-2020, 07:41 PM

Hi guys, I just bought a M3 F80. I just to check if the car is lowered in the past. It has 19 inch tires. One of the videos mentioned that the height in the front is 27 and 3/8 in and the rear is 26.5 in (from the ground to the fender edge).
Is that correct?
I could not find this anywhere.
Thank you
Alex

Honestly a better pic would be of the front.

Stock, the gap up front is pretty obvious. Usually lowering takes care of that gap. The rear was pretty good stock.

Hard to tell in the rear but it appears stock height to me

By the way, it's F80 M3, not M3 F80.

I mean... you could always just stick your head under the car and check the springs lol

And if you can fit your head under the car, it's on stock springs

I'm just a bit flabbergasted that these threads keep coming up about people buying used F80s and only after the fact are asking us how to tell if it's stock.

Looks stock. Mine is lowered and you can barely make out the Michelin writing.

I did 2 PPI on the car and I know it is stock except Dinon exhaust. It had 15 mm spacers in the back. When I removed them, the car looked lower to me and that is why I asked.
Based on measurements that I got from a video on YouTube the height seems stock.
Thanks

The car has only 4000 miles and was very well taken care of

You don't detail your rotors? Amateur...

Just take a peek at the springs.... most aftermarket springs have the makers name on them or an odd number. The BMW springs usually have some colored paint dots or a wrap around sticker tag. Looks stock height to me

I know, shame on me. Going to make up for it and ceramic coat the rotors tonight. Maybe even a nice serving of adams buttery wax on the brake pads! Gotta get every nook.
