Not 788 but just picked it up from alignment after installing Ohlins last weekend.

Looks jacked up in the rear. Your rake seems off.

Maybe it's the angle the picture was taken but that looks way more than the 10-15 mm drop. Likely 20-25 mm in the front and 25-30 mm drop in the rear.

The tire-fender gap in my relatively flat garage is about 20 mm front / 1 mm back at the moment. I did not measure before install but I do recall multi-finger gaps front and back. What is the gap on stock suspension?

Wheel bottom to fender front is 595mm, rear 624mm. Where were you measuring from/to? Tires at set to 32psi cold. Rear wheels are 20" and front 19".

This is how BMW measures the suspension height (and lowering): On the stock suspension that measurement is supposed to be 620 mm all around. (on my car it was 620 mm on all corners except the front passenger where it was 622 mm) On MP coilovers it's supposed to be 595 mm in the front and 600 mm in rear when just installed (full tank). Effectively, it's all the way down (or almost) for the rear while there's still plenty of adjustment for the front. I suppose it may settle a bit after that and may be more even eventually. |

Important to mention that my rear ride height will seem off because of 20" rear wheel. After subtracting 2.54cm/25.4mm, I am right there at recommended level for M Perf coilovers.

Thanks! Yes, M4CS fitment: 255/35 19 front and 285/30 20 rear which is why the rear height seems different. They are Orbit Gray. Alpine white looks great with the wheels and carbon fiber.
