Suspension or lowering springs
I was ready to go with putting kw coilovers on until I saw a video from fitment industries saying basically if you have a good suspension lowering springs is the better way to go. Now if u have a m340 you kno she handles beautifully. So my question is is this true. I do NOT want to kill the ride so that's the biggest issue. Appreciate the info

Yea I usually would agree. But multiple people now saying if you have the adaptive m suspension with the electronic dampers which I got that springs is the way to go. Coilovers would not give me a better ride then what I got stock. So if I wanna keep the ride just lower the stance. Springs is it. Fitment industries recommended springs. A quality set. But still confused. Plus not sure if anyone familiar with auto cotour in north jersey. But they had said the same

If you have the adaptive suspension, yeah changing springs is probably the most straightforward -- but it may not perform as good as OEM on the track. Bilstein offers a full kit for the adaptive suspension models -- https://www.bilstein.com/us/en/produ...51839577779359 -- this is the ultimate if money is not a factor |

Just a lil FYI. Money is not an option. I'm not saying springs bc there cheaper. This is what's getting recommended by people. Fitment industries auto cotour are not just cosmetic company's. My main objective is not to have a shitty ride. Bc the way it handles now. To me is perfect. And that's not just out of my mouth. That's out of people I trust that track there cars. Not believing how good it handles. I can't f*Ck figure out how to add pictures to my gallery so I could post pictures of my brothers m3 and mustang that he takes to track that were built by auto cotour. But whatever. U guys are more knowledgeable which is why I'm here to take advice. So thank you. Still have couple months to figure it out till before summer

i have a adaptive suspension and went with dinan lowering spring instead of kw v3, the main reason is i can still keep my "adaptive" function work and the maximum height of kw v3 is still too low for where i live, handling wise the lowering spring does help a lot on reducing bodying roll, but i guess a quality coilover will do the same job maybe even better since you can adjust the rebound or other things, i just went with the cheaper route for now

The ride quality feel more firm but still ride like oem on each mode, the most difference is on comfort plus (which i coded this mode by using bimmercode), everytime when the car goes over speed pump, will rebounce a lot and feel like a boat, since then i never switch to comfort plus
