For those who have gotten this installed at their dealer post delivery, any tips you would pass on? I’m nervous about install and would hope that they would do just a good of a job as an Indy shop, and can follow directions on the exact mm drop requested

My experience albeit many moons ago was that the dealer was super expensive versus an Indy.

Also confirm that the dealer has done these prior as some users recently (maybe just one or two) have had less than stellar install experiences.

That’s my fear. But at that point, might as well get KW HAS since there will be no warranty on bmw parts not installed by BMW

My dealer quoted me $2720 plus tax today to do the MP HAS kit install!!

I'll be looking elsewhere.

is that including the actual kit or is that just all labor charges?

Here are a couple of pics of mine after port install. There was some documentation in the glove compartment which included measurements of the drop and alignment.

This looks great! Hoping they dial mine in the exact same as yours.

Installed by my BMW technician son with 15 miles on the odometer… at 1,050 now.

I really like the very flat and responsive handling… and the lower ride height!

This is beautiful. And different than standard 10mm front and rear drop

I just got quoted $6,500 for parts and labor from my dealer. Labor being $3k. No mention of alignment. I didn’t even respond lol

I went through just about every page on this thread while waiting for the boat to make it across the ocean. I'm fairly OCD and the disproportionately high OEM suspension look bugged me. From the pages in this thread, it seems likely everyone gets a different drop from the port installers.

Just got pictures today and am really happy with how it turned out. Spacers next...

Hi guys what's the best size spacers to use without any rub with this OEM M Performance Suspension front and rear spaces.

These both look great! I have a Dravit on Tartufo currently in assembly and ordered the MPHAS -- do you guys mind sharing how much the car is lowered here based on the spec sheet?

Here is what came in the car when I picked it up. I don’t know what the stock height is to compare.

Thanks, it looks like they dropped it around 10mm -- it looks really good. Think I'm leaning towards requesting 10-15mm if my dealership is able to communicate with the port.

What tires do you have?

What’s the best setup for spacers with the OEM M Performance Suspension kit that wont rub the front fender well when fully turned

Depends on your tires, believe it or not. Pirellis Rub with even 10mm in the front on xDrive. If you have a RWD car, you’re good. Michelins, you can run pretty much any spacer without rubbing. 10-12-15 in the front.

Don’t know yet, car is in production it is a Xdrive with the full carbon package so ceramic brakes etc, and of course opted for the the M performance suspension. I want to get all the goods before car arrives. Wheels selected is the all black wheels not sure what tires they come with

If you buy the spacers before you get the car, and it comes with Pirellis, with xDrive, my car rubbed in reverse with 10mm spacers.

Damm so I’m hoping to get Michelins then? What’s the odds of that happening ?

No telling. There is no definitive explanation. My 2022 xDrive had every option, except buckets. I had CCBs and M Drivers package, even, still got Pirellis.

So did you just cut the inner fender? If so what spacers did you end up dialing in?

I went with 1000M and these will need the fenders to be cut anyway. But, 13/13 dialed it in.
