I want that look on my BSM, but not looking to lower as I've got many low humps in my condo and area.

Would you (or anyone else) happen to have 15mm spacers on stock suspension? Wondering how it would look.
+1 anyone with the stock suspension

12mm is perfect

Go with 12/12 all around. Absolutely perfect fitment and I constantly get compliments on how perfect they look. Ran them with stock suspension and stock wheels, then lowered on BC Coils, and now with my Vossen 20s and they are still PERFECT. My $0.02 and opinion

How do you like the BC system? I'm thinking of doing suspension next and everyone keeps raving about these new MSS springs but just saw your photos and love the stance! Would love to hear your thoughts as I daily my M2 about 60 miles a day (well at least I did in the old world living of driving to work up until this week)
Thx

Here are pics of stock rims, stock suspension, 10mm spacers all around, and brand new MP4S tires in 255/35 and 275/35.

Check out this thread: https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1550564

So I did the great debate: Springs vs. Full Coilovers. What I really wanted to do was eliminate body roll as the car didn't inspire confidence at speed. Appearance is just an added bonus of lowering for me. I weighed my options and looked at the current offerings (this was over a year ago), and decided a spring matched to a shock was the best route for performance vs. something like KW HAS for example.

The BC kit is great, I have the custom Swift springs and the car rides firmly, and corners on rails now with very little to no body roll. I did have to play with the dampening adjusters to get the road feel I was after but I'm very happy with the setup and would recommend it for the money. Things I don't like: the steel top hats are noisy compared to stock on bumpy roads (San Diego has TERRIBLE roads) but I find the cabin noise in the M2 is loud in general and this doesn't bother me. The ride is much firmer although I commute in my car from time to time and its not too much for me. However, my friend has the DINAN kit in his car (re-branded KW v2. basically) and I felt his car rides better over rough roads compared to mine and drives just as well. If I were to do it again, I would probably spend the extra money and get the KW or Dinan kit, but if your budget limits you to the BC or lowering springs, definitely get the BC kit.

Thanks for the pics. 10mm for me stuck out past the fenders a bit more than I liked. Slightly lowered, it looks really good though.

What size wheel bolts should I use for running 10mm spacers? Has anyone experienced any negatives while driving?

lol the reason why I'm asking is the OEM size appears to be 14x1.25x27mm, and I can't seem to find the exact size when you add 10mm to it. So was wondering what I should go for that would ensure fitment. Might be a noob question.
