Hahah I just asked him if you had been here today already..

I went with the MSS, I guess they're all COVID delta'd out in England and the 2nd shipment is going to take forever so I'm glad I bough when I did.

I'll get some good shots by the end of today✊🏼

Even in this pic I took in direct sunlight, you don't really notice the flake. I'm mostly just being nit-picky here. Dravit would be my second color choice.
I just saw Dravit Grey at the dealership the other day and it was stunning. Super sunny day so you could really see those gold flakes. Very dynamic paint. What is your first choice?
Oxide Grey is now my favorite color, and I wasn't a huge fan of it at launch. So that would be my first choice on the M3. On the M4, I would go for Skyscraper Grey
I pulled the trigger on a oxide grey m3c over the weekend. My first choice was Brooklyn but inventory is horrible and My M5 lease was up.

The color has grown on me a lot over the last couple days. It's bronze in the highlights and grey in lower light. I think it pairs well with the black/carbon accents. I'm really happy with it.

Oxide Gray looks terrific! Probably my second-choice color (after Tanzanite), mainly because our other vehicle is medium grey. It reminds me of Champagne Quartz, another BMW color I love. Great choice, andrewssd!

Such a beautiful car. If I'd actually been able to get an allocation (instead of grabbing a lucky HEA car that was suddenly available), I'd have ended up with Toronto Red. I'll always have a preference for red cars, even though I've only owned two red cars out of the 17 cars I've owned. Oh well :-)

Looks good knowing that it'll settle

Did you set it to the lowest front & rear and then wait for it settle and adjust if you have to?

The rear adjuster has 10mm left and front is at the bottom or maxed out. So the rear might come down and we can turn it back up while front better fucking come down LOLOLOL

Can't figure out why MSS hasn't made a running change unless there is an issue we are not aware of going lower in the front. Rear fitment is perfect, front is just how it should have come from the factory and doesn't look lowered at all.

Not criticizing your setup, just wondering why MSS has kept the front so high.

This is a topic of debate and dialogue for over a month; while the Evolve car looks fabulous- it took over 1000 plus miles to settle and to me, thats lame for springs. And it settled over 20mm which is crazy. There is alot of discussion in the suspension section. I did MSS cause the KW setup is delayed.

Ill say this, the MSS ride quality is really good.

Agreed front end still looks very high. Even when it settles it can't be that big of a difference. At most 4-10 mm if that

Honestly looks stock to my eyes, but it could also be the slight incline he's parked at. Or at least, it appears that way

From the few posts I've seen on this topic, MSS will settle more than 10mm but I'm also waiting for more info and confirmed results!

This has been the case and I dont know why but its just odd that it will settle that much.

My drop as we took it off the rack was a paltry 15mm in the front... Ill take 10mm more but would enjoy 15mm.

Im gonna go rub my genie bottle.

Like you said, it's still so bizarre to me these need so much settlement time! I'm hoping by the time my allocation is secured, Swift will be available. I saw pics posted on here of the prototype springs and they looked good so far.
