Great question! The main motivator for me getting the mp HAS kit was that it’s covered under warranty. I knew I was going to have to lower the car because of that ugly wheel gap. I don’t know what an OEM ride feels like (had the HAS kit included in my options as a port install) but the ride isn’t bad at all. I was worried about the drop not being enough because I think BMW does a 10mm drop in the front, not sure about the back, but you can lower to the max 20mm drop and I confirmed it’s still covered under warrenty.
Personally, I think the drop is perfect for my taste. I can make it over speed bumps and drive ways without issue but the spacers is always a must with the OEM wheels. Not as sick as some of the lower g8x but I have bad knees and the roads in my area are horrible!

Another option I was looking at was Eibach springs but the thing that changed my mind was the warranty. It may not be a concern anymore g8x but I previously had a horrible experience of running into suspension issues after lowering a new car a long time back.

I was really hesitant to putting on spacers too (again, had a bad experience) but the offset was too ugly and had to give them a try. I went with the Future Classic 12mm spacers because of all the good reviews and couldn’t be happier with them. They are hub centric and also bolt into the hub. I’m sure the issue I had with spacers in the past was I purchased some really cheap ones and the car would vibrate like crazy at 60mph! (I was like 22 and broke! &#128514

I hope this helps!
That really help, thanks for the info. Like you I am keen to keep the warranty as I don’t want an issue if something goes wrong. My roads are bad and I already scrape the plastic fins underneath on a set of speed bumps that I have to deal with each day so I cannot go low. I think the 10-12 mm drop with a set of 12mm spacer would be perfect for me.

Well...here's the last picture I took of my car. Before we get into anything, no airbags and everyone is 100% OK.

Absolutely could have been avoided if I didn't make a really stupid mistake trying to make a right off the highway.

She's at the shop now, rental is coming tomorrow while everything is assessed.

The only silver lining is this probably won't affect my value a whole lot, insurance is fully covering it, and this is getting traded in a couple weeks when my original order comes in anyway.

Just mostly mad at myself for not paying attention as much as I should have. Will also have to find an opportunity to get my mods off the car as that was supposed to be today's plan...

Moral of the story: even if you're sure, double check.
