Looks lovely, don't worry about folding mirrors unless you have specific requirement (very narrow garage etc...) they are pointless.

In fact the only time I want to be able to use them is when travelling on narrow roads at pinch points where people can't keep to their side, but they won't fold whilst on the move.

On the F10 you can drive away with them folded in and they automatically open once the speed hit I think 25mph.

That doesn't solve the issue or give me the functionality I'd like though, it's folding them on the fly so to speak that would make them useful to me, my last 3 cars have had them and I never use them for that reason.

ACS springs come with a full warranty and can be fitted by your BMW dealer.

Cheers they're the ones I was looking at!!

The ride height doesn't change too much on the front (still sits a bit high) if that's your only reason for fitting the springs.
For me they have certainly changed the handling for the better, so definite thumbs up.

You're welcome!

Bimmerpost (the f30) section has all the info you need, as has been mentioned the front isn't lowered as much as the back but it looks fine to me and they rave about the improvement to the dynamics on the forum.

... And cost around £600 fitted.

I'm tempted. They make the car look better and significantly improves the ride - apparently even with adaptive.

Looks as though the fitting costs more than the springs then. Generally BMW's sit lower on the rear arches I think - my little 1 series does also as did my last 335d.

Will check out Bimmer when I get time - not been on there for a while.
