My first impressions of the M perf suspension are very good. I am using factory settings for bump and rebound, 2,5 bar tire pressure up front, 2,6 in the back and the ride is amazingly pliant and reassuring. It is much more agile than stock.

Haven't followed the recommended settings in ride height though, tried to stay close to OEM in order to have full suspension travel. I stand at 60,5 centimeters front and 62 in the back.

Will drive it like this for a while and then stiffen it up a bit, maybe lower it half a centimeter in the back. I am curious to see what the car feels like with the track recommended settings on the street.

I had Ohlins R&T on an e89 and was quite pleased with it. Rear spring rates were just 9 kilos and that car was borderline too stiff in the back.

The Ohlins R&T kit for the M2C has much stiffer spring rates 9 kilos up front and 19 kilos in the back. M perf rear springs are at 12 kilos, for reference.
