Reason I asked if any forum member could measure the wheel to fender is because in an email I was told it will lower my x3 the same as the x3m and will be lower than the Eibach's springs. The Eibach's are night and day better, the rear mss springs are too soft, the body roll is quite alarming because you think the rear is about to break away. |

Eibach for my vehicle are 25mm fr/R It's actually now sitting higher than the Eibach's, the rear is to soft and there's a lot more body roll from the rear, it feels like the rear is not working in conjunction with the front when you drive it with enthusiasm. A detailed email stated: "Hi Dave, the X3 will lower the same as the X3M. MSS recommend a 20mm positive rake. This will still lower the X3 more than the Eibach springs" I think I need to speak to all parties and try and get a fix alternative I'll get the installers to fit KW Adaptive coilovers. |

Glad it is resolved - is the end result that the MSS will not lower the X3 as much as the X3M? That is surprising..

Hi guys,
I just installed MSS Kit on the 2020 X4MC and ran a couple of hundreds mile. The current installation is something about 20mm front and rear and now I understand it is not so right. With 225-3 springs on the front, I should have at least 15mm rake and this is something I want to fix tomorrow at the shop I've installed the kit. So far I feel a great improvement in comfort on a road, going better each next day. But I noticed also a really annoying thing - the bump stop or other sort of kick is happening when I'm driving 25mph faster on some sharp speed bump or when some top asphalt layer connects the lower layer not too smoothly (the usual thing in my city at the moment). Such sort of sound I never experience on any car before, including X4M stock springs, Macan (Sport+), 718 Boxster, or Infinity FX37... Here is an example of a ride: https://youtube.com/shorts/DpsQx10Q3e8?feature=share I'm curious is that common for everyone who installed MSS? Or MSS springs should behave similarly to stock in such cases?... |

After dealing with an install issue (initial installer forgot to install a front tophat bushing!!), no new noises at all.

What would be the perfect MSS dial for 2020 X4MC, without running into any issues with the clunk noise guys have been complaining about. I read that the X4M sits higher than the X3M.

I'm really wanting to get a set of MSS springs installed but the quotes for install are pretty expensive. First place is $1650 not including alignment. Second estimate was $1500 with alignment. These are both BMW only shops in the Dallas area. I have one more place to get a quote from.
Does this sound right to you guys? Quotes do not include springs! |

The $1650 quote was $135/hr. They are quoting book time for 12.25 hours but stating they'll only charge how long it takes. I've used these guys before and they are solid bit I'm thinking they don't know how long it'll take so they are quoting full book time.
