I had V3's on my F82 and it was too bouncy for me. The F82 was pretty dumped and looked great but I would rub/scrape on everything, it was too low. I've had KW V3's on 911's and M's but I really love this new G8X setup. Very planted and firm driving experience. Totally love it.

Let’s see some pictures

These aren't glamour shots. The car has literally never been washed and only has 50 miles on it so no judgements on how dirty it is. This is the M Performance HAS max low, Michelin PS4's, 15F/12R spacers

Getting the MP HAS kit installed next week and keeping it in the recommended range by BMW.

Question for those who've installed: have you had to adjust your headlight levels after lowering?

No, the headlights are self-leveling. The leveling sensors need to be unplugged in the driver's side wheel wells when you install the springs. Nothing else needs to be done.

Got it, that's helpful. Was just wondering if it was common or not to adjust but glad it's not.

No, you don’t want to mess with trying to manually adjust them, and find yourself staring at a dash full of fault codes. My g82 has been lowered since I started this thread, and it’s been working as advertised.

Ha. I didn’t make the connection that you started this thread. You’re the godfather of the MP HAS!

Got my MP HAS installed today, full drop front with room to go in the rear. 10mm spacers all around. Love it so far.

Definitely a bit more firm than stock in each mode, but nothing close to unreasonable.

It's definitely perfect although my driveway is a struggle.

I assume you take the driveway approach at a 45 degree angle.

That helps.

Yup. Drive over anything raised on an angle, it becomes second nature.

christianb5s4 · 03-02-2024, 12:45 AM

I do but that doesn't help now. Ordered some driveway ramps tonight.

All of my original posts from the day I installed mine, have been full low. Wheels are 20/21.

Mine is at least in the front. Could go lower in back but it wouldn't look right IMO.
