FIRST LOOK: OEM G8X M Performance HAS Kit!!
They finally exist. I'm going to take a shot at the fact that I'm probably one of the first people to have them, on hand, in the US, for sure.
Post Edit, based on clarified information: From previous knowledge of M Performance Suspension Systems. - It is made by KW based on BMW M Performance spec. - No coding required on the EDC. Coding is to re-calibrate the headlight aim, which can be done manually. - Drop wise, not as much as KW HAS or MSS based on installs being completed on previous generation cars. I will post another update when I get the kit installed, as to how low the actual kit goes. Comparing the thread area on the KW HAS spring collars to the thread count, on this M Performance Kit, you can tell the M Kit has far less threaded area, which would allow for less height adjustability. So, if you are looking for the tucked, hellaflush look, this isn't going to be your kit. M Performance HAS height adjustability: 5mm-20mm (BMWs recommended drop is 10mm) KW HAS is 10mm-30mm Post updated with the alignment spec sheet, immediately preceding spring install. There will be a final alignment check after I've determined the car has fully settled. Original fender to bottom lip of rims, front and rear were 657mm front 657mm rear. Front and rear drop, maxed out in the rear at 641mm (unsettled) front can still be dropped more. But 641mm was the lowered measurement. Update 27 Jan 2023: North Raleigh Performance posted an excellent installation video, for those who want to see exactly what comes with the kit, and what everything is used for. Check @ 11:00 of the video for the use of tool part# 31335A4A186. (this tool only applies to xDrive vehicles.) Update 3 December 2023: G81 part number : 31305A87C79

So do you have to go to your dealer to have the program installed?

Finally. Vendor threads on these were just delayed, delayed, delayed for so long. How much is the kit?

I ordered them from Germany, and they were a little sketchy. When I ordered, they were like $1,107. Then I paid, and 2 days later they were listed for $980, and wouldn't refund me without canceling the order. 2 days later, they were like $1,300, now, theyre back to $1,107. $116 shipping DHL Express, and $48 at the Los Angeles port, for import duties.

Nothing came in the box, except parts. Nothing to even say its a BMW M Performance Part.

The packaging definitely reminds me of KW but then again there are no descriptors. It matches the M perf looks of the F90 m5. I like the fact of the EDC adjustments but also would want to see how low this set up goes. Thanks for being the guinea here/

Can't wait until they are available. I definitely may consider switching out my MSS springs for these. I hate that I wasn't patient and already have about 1900 including installed with MSS.

They are available. I have them sitting on my Kitchen table. I live in NorCal. Ordered from Germany. About the same price as KW HAS/ MSS HAS.

Just comparing the KW thread collars, in pictures, to the M Performance kit, I have on hand, there aren't anywhere near as many threads on the M Performance collars, which would clearly mean less height adjustability.

I doubt that there would be a programming a specific suspension profile that is reserved for HAS.
