Pics of M2 on Bilstein PSS10 Coilovers?

Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone had a pic of their M2 with Bilstein B16 PSS10's at their lowest setting. Bilstein says it can be lowered up to 50 mm, which is about 2"... but all the pics I've found of people with them show some wheel gap. I would think that 2" would get rid of the wheel gap and then some. Thanks in advance!

Here you go. I probably have 1-2 threads left at all 4 corners. Just note, I'm on 18s and running smaller diameter than stock in the rear.

Thank you! This looks absolutely beautiful, and I plan to run 18s in the near future too.

Guys, sorry to diverge the thread but how does it ride comparing to stock? Is it softer but still compliant in city roads and much more planted on the highway or canyon roads?
Been lingering between Ohlins (which seems to be better damper but more expensive) but still hesitant to pull the trigger. See a few bay area friends here so really need your honest opinions!

Probably depends on how much free damper travel is left at the lowest ride height. if it's on the bumpstops, "compliant" is unlikely to be an accurate description.

Yup, I’ll keep that in mind and am really just thinking about 10mm drop so with that much drop, hopefully still a lot travel.

I believe that's the difference between the Ohlins and these.

Even after lowering the Ohlins the suspension travel should remain the same.

Pls do verify this is accurate as I looked into suspension travel while back when I had my M2c.

Well, ride height and suspension travel 'should' be independently adjustable on the R&Ts. Unless they've seized. Tends not to be an option on the others.
