I thought that the 22' had a better ride quality than the 20'?

It seems to, based on a different spring rate in the rear and different software (just a guess based on others' feedback). Regardless, ride quality is highly subjective and it seems like OP is just interested in lowering.

I got my 2021 X6M COMP and very happy with it . I am pretty new to this Forum. I have been looking for the right option to lower my car.

I cant find how a HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE SPRING KIT Part No 253200ED keeps the Electronic dampening of the car and not the inexpensive H&R SPORT SPRING SET (28627-1).

H.A.S. HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE SPRING KIT states that it will utilize the electronic dampers and also states that “All driver assistance systems and comfort features of a factory adaptive or electronic suspension remain operational and work harmoniously with this vehicle-specific spring set up.”

The inexpensive The H&R “SPORT SPRING SET” spec does not state this. However, the H.A.S. looks like only featuring height adjustable feature when compared to a Sport Spring Set and I don't know how one can keep the electronic dampening feature active and not the other one. I dont see a the difference in between and impact of the design on the electronic dampening feature.

Also, I don't plan to adjust my cars height all the time. H&R SPORT SPRING SET is three times less expensive and I want to confirm if it will still keep the car's electronic dampening feature just like the advertised H.A.S .

I appreciate for your feedbacks.

Any spring only kit will retain the EDC, including H&R

Did you ever get round to fitting these?

3 of 4 are fitted. Last one is waiting on the replacement strut that the previous shop f*cked up. Now USPS shipping is causing a ridiculous delay. 🤯

After 3 very long weeks my ride is finally home. Running Eibach springs and Dinan exhuast w/ midpipe. More pics to come. Initial impression of springs is very good. I can definitely feel how these are softer than stock as advertised. No NVH like the Dinan ones I had. Will report back after more drive time.

More pics, more pics, more pics!

Glad its all fixed for ya. I am also keen to hear more once you had a few miles in the seat.

Presume you have had the Istep update? Or is it a digital dash car that already had the tweaks?

Either way, interested to hear how the softer springs and softer damper ratios work together.

Snapped a quick one after work.

I have the ISTEP from March 2021. I have a 2020 model year. Also running 12mm spacers front and rear. My immediate notice is that bumps are not as jarring. I'll report more as I go along and be sure to highlight any negatives I find (if any). Hope to read about more owners running Eibach on this platform. Bummer they're not sold domestically yet. Found mine on eBay from a German retailer.

That's a good looking ride height!

I wonder how the ride compares with the H&R srings?

Haven't driven on the h&r but Eibach claims their springs are 12% softer in the front and 5% softer in the rear. I can feel the difference versus stock. About an inch drop in the front and .75" in the rear. That's claimed drop. I didn't measure before and after

Further, I assume these would also fit the M40i. Looks like I might need to email Eibach.

drop looks good, actually looks lower than i thought compared to H&R.

that being said, with the softer spring, have you experienced any bottoming out? did you happen to upgrade to the Dinan bump stops as well?

[thestimp]

Could you also measure the drop height to fender if possible. Thanks! Was debating these/MSS/KW V3’s but all i really want is drop. Looks great!!

No bottoming out. I used stock bump stops as that is what the springs were designed around.

Had a really nice and impressively responsive chat with Eibach, USA.

The X3 MC springs "that number does come up in our system here in the states", so good news RoWo - if you ever have any warranty issues, it can be handled through Eibach USA.

Unfortunately not so with the M40i springs, they don't show up in the US system, so if I order some from overseas, I'd need to route any warranty issues through Eibach Germany.

Not that I expect any trouble from coil springs, but....

Apart from you, think i only read one post from one other owner on FB

[GT4981]

So what gives you the lower height? MSS H&R or these Eibachs?
