Very nice! How’s manuvering the car with the MP lip and being lowered now? Looks like a good amount of clearance to avoid speed bumps. And hownlowndodnyou drop it?

That’s gorgeous. I love the color. Those color matched intakes peeking out the grill… perfection.

That color is beautiful.
Was my favorite color M3 when growing up. My dad had one. And that's the exact reason I spec'd mine this way

Did you undo all the suspension and roll bar bushings and re-tighten them at the desired ride height? If not, the settling you’re referring to is very likely the bushings deforming.

In my experience, installing lowering springs does not involve any settling if all the bushings are properly clocked to the new ride height position. Long term suspension sag can be an issue if springs wear out, but new springs should not settle.

We indeed did. We premarked all bolts and returned them to original settings. But in my opinion and with all my cars, the is always minor settling from raw height once you drive the car after removing the lift.
