This looks spot on! Makes the standard wheels look ever better IMO!

Looks great! Did you do the adjustable springs? That’s what I’m going to get.

How is the dampening? Are the OEM struts able to handle the heavier gauge springs well?

Bro does the adaptive suspension still work with the H&R lowering springs or does it kill it?

I installed the exact same setup and can say that the adaptive suspension works just like oem.

I would guess that it will shorten the life of the struts a little which has me looking into aftermarket, but I haven’t found anything yet.

Anyone know if Bilstein is/has a replacement kit for adaptive suspension on the G20 platform?

Hey bro how much did you pay for install? My local shop is telling me $1300 and it will take 3-4 days because I have adaptive suspension and Xdrive. Am I being overcharged?

Sweat and time! Did it by self. Lol. Not that hard. Also need to buy a few single-use bolts and nuts for some of the components. Took about 3 hours.

@teknic90 congrats that looks amazing. Did you need the 15mm spacers to avoid rubbing or was that for visual?

What wheels are you gonna put on?
