Eibach pro kit lowering springs (25mm drop) & 10mm Bimmec spacers now fitted to the X4M.
Plus some 50th anniversary wheel centre caps whilst the wheels were off. Just also added comment to the ‘what did u do to your X3M / X4M thread. However thought it would be good for a separate thread incase anyone else thinking of the mod too with questions etc. Not the simplest job to watch as it requires pretty much most of the boot trim removing to get at the rears. However 3-4 hours later all done. Really pleased with the drop circa 25mm and a nice and even drop front to rear. 10mm spacers just enough IMO. Almost the stance & look I personally would have expected as OEM from factory. For comfort, yes notice a slight increase in comfort but time will Tell over some further mixed driving. Assume that they will settle in more too. Last edited by ajbM4cab; 11-15-2023 at 11:34 AM.. |

80miles later and the springs seem to have settled nicely.
Great ride height and a reasonable difference in the comfort too. You can’t take away the 40 profile tyres or hard dampers but the springs have a softer compress and rebound. £230ish on AUTODOC plus fitting, money well spent. By no means ‘top luxurious’ comfort but certainly takes away that harsh bounce. |

This looks excellent and definitely gives your vehicle that extra touch! Thanks for sharing the photos.
I recently purchased the same Eibach springs and will be pairing them with 12mm H&R spacers for my 2022 X4M Comp. |

The 12mm would look fine too. There was still a bit of ‘give’, if that makes sense, after the 10mm spacers were fitted on mine.
Bit more on the rear. I am personally really happy with the 10mm. However, iif I was to squeeze it then maybe 10mm fronts and 12mm rear. Any more then the tyres maybe be sticking out more than the arches. |

I purchased the front lip from eBay. Many sellers offering the same item, mine was actually one of the cheaper ones and decent quality too.
Not over the top and looks pretty much OEM style. Simple but effective The more expensive ones look to have a few extra locating holes pre drilled. This would have helped the fitting to be fair as I had to drill a few additional to make it very secure. Not difficult but takes a little consideration of drilling and fixing in the best places. Easy to install as the 3 pieces are pre drilled and use the existing lower trim fixings. You may need longer hex bolts as the originals when removed are not long enough to go through both the spoiler and the existing lower trim. I used some longer self tapping stainless screws and washers. Again using the existing hex bolt fixing positions. I also used a few extra ones for securing. |

Legend! I’ve got mine and ready to install but waiting for the Dinan bump stops to arrive first! I’m getting it done at Luxury Wheels and tyres in Springvale! Got the einhorn bushing too which I’m hoping they can install as well

Thanks for this info. I called luxury wheels and they were hands down the best price. They also seem to know lots about cars etc. I will definitely give them a shot.

That looks great with only the front springs fitted so far.

Exactly my first thoughts too. When I first picked up the X4M I was questioning whether I could put up with the harsh ride once the honeymoon period was over. Fitted the Eibachs and problem solved.
