Perfect amount of lowering and stance that doesn't make the car look slammed. Nice choice and thanks for posting. Glad to meet a fellow M340i from SoCal/OC.

Looks killer, look like 20's too, they are light weight flow forged for sure...What brand, exact sizes of wheel and tire, and offset are they? Again they look amazing!

Just saw Dinan post (via FB) that they finally have an xDrive model in for spring development.

Looking good!
Quote:
I'm still up in the air with a +1 wheel/tire setup (considering both Vossens and HREs) those FF10s certainly look great! My Dinan lowering springs just arrived yesterday and the bump stops will be delivered next week. I also picked up the new Dinan CAI and strut tower braces and have a Dinan exhaust is on order (who knows maybe I'll get it by August?) Also really appreciated the shots of the stock 791Ms with the spacers installed (along with the dyno vid). They look quite good when pushed out a bit (and are very nice looking OE wheels IMO). I think the combo of the Dinan lowering springs w/stock wheels and spacers is a very good look. That may end up being my fall/winter setup and I'd run the 20s in the spring and summer... stay tuned! Oh and PS - which front lip is that? (not sure I'll be that brave) |

To your question - the lip is an MPerformance replica that I did not put the extensions on either side. Just like the oem piece the extensions bolt onto the lip so they are completely optional. I just picked up my second one in gloss black in that after 18 months of use and abuse the first one was ready to be put out to pasture. I consider the lips a throw away part and buy them on ebay for about $175.00 painted - install is straightforward and is certainly something that can be tackled at home (if you can gain access to a lift it's about a 20 min install) Hope this helps ps- here's a link to the one I purchased https://www.ebay.com/itm/153963866291 |

Thanks!

Does it come with the side extensions too? Did you just not like their quality or how they looked? Does it come with everything required to install or do you recommend a certain adhesive? I just placed an order from that eBay seller you linked, I guess it was their last one? Question: Are your rear gloss black bumper trim and diffuser pieces M Perf replicas too or are they OEM? |

Yes it comes with the side extensions too - I simply do not like how they looked (and with the dinan springs I don't think they would have lasted very long). This has nothing to do with the fact that the lip is a replica because the extensions are exactly the same as oem - I simply never liked the look of the extensions All M pieces on my car are replica - I purchased them all from IKON on ebay pre-painted in gloss black - couldn't be happier with material fit finish and quality. This latest lip (the one you just purchased) came from a different seller because IKON was sold out. Here are some links... My post on front lip install https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1767636 The side skirts I purchased (few available) https://www.ebay.com/itm/392543140003 The rear diffuser I installed (sold out but you'll get the idea, I know there are other sellers - maybe the front lip seller??) https://www.ebay.com/itm/283738115924 Hope this helps Chris |

Thanks for this and your other Mission performance thread. I actually have opposite thoughts on the dinan springs than most. Definitely less body roll but the biggest thing I noticed was that it made the car feel more compliant and less jarring than stock when hitting SoCal pavement. I don't mind that at all since it still performs well. (I also don't have adaptive suspension, so basically it was like being in sport all the time). Just my 2 cents…

Good to hear!

I was also just on the phone with the shop and they said the car really needs spacers after the drop and were trying to sell me a full set of four 12.5mm spacers with extended lug bolts etc. I decided to pass on their offer because I already have a pair of 15mm Dinan spacers here at the house and am just waiting for my 2nd pair to arrive! I guess the car will have to look a little funny for a while until that second pair arrives... or until my new wheels show up! |

So far very impressed!
Quote:
Very pleased with the results so far... many thanks to the other forum members for their previous posts and honest feedback about these mods! Spacers are going on tomorrow and window tint is being applied on Friday morning. Hoping I can wash the car and take some pics to share over the weekend. Interestingly enough, the shop did mention that some other M340 owners had reported creaking noises with the Dinan springs in colder temperatures. Planning to do some forum searches and see if I can find anything related... have any of you running Dinan springs experienced this? |

How soon after installation did you notice it? When and how often does the creak happen for you now? When first getting in or while driving? Does it happen any time there's spring compression? Assuming it's audible both inside and outside the vehicle? |

As it's been heating up now during mornings (lowest temperature 60-70) I have noticed the creak less and less. I do believe it's temperature related, however this is my anecdotal experience thus far. Lastly, yes, audible inside and outside the vehicle.

Progress…

Finally got around to installing my spacers and had the windows tinted today as well. Took a couple of pics… It was 73 degrees here today so all my car needs now is a bath! |

just installed mine, the ride is literally like stock. Just wish it was a tad lower. Did you notice it lower over time after the springs settled?

Mine have settled for sure not significantly but they have over the last 18 months. The ride remains the same (but I do only have 11k miles on my car) Congrats on your install |
