Hard to say without trying. Certainly it's impossible to see the bolts on mine until you're right up at the car kneeling down. I'd have said standard should be fine.

Lol mine are now paid for and shipping tomorrow

We should have checked in case anyone else was ordering to reduce shipping costs

You can re-use your Eibach ones Danny, F30 and F80 fitment are the same. AC Schnitzer make spacers but only for AC Schnitzer wheels which are a different centre bore.

But there will be other things to buy for it then.

Guy, car looks fantastic, you may remember I missed the CP by a matter of days and I said if I had know I would have waited, saying that happy with the progress, here's a rear shot with the 15mm spacers on after the stone shipping carry on cheers John

Nice what are you thinking of doing, I thought at first a lowering spring as I plan to go 20's but the KW HAS kit looked good, or the AC fitted, need to be in Scotland somewhere, Im near Glasgow, as much as I love the stock exhaust still think MPE

Will go with ACS RS kit. Biggest improvement I can make.

That's sounds great, I guess it's fairly costly but worth it to get the feel you want, I'm just at the research stage as I can't do any more bolt on or carbon, so a drop and wheels is my next move

I'm not known for my patience once I set my mind to something......

That's why the wait for the car is killing me at the moment!!!

I'll add them to the ever growing list of parts to fit once I get it home!!

I guess while the diffuser is off to swap that, would be the ideal time to fit these

John Clark Tayside have fitted some AC gear I believe

[Lorcan]

Yep, this one, although the customer has since added 20" forged AC1 wheels.

Douglas Park in Stirling are also fitting an RS kit in the next week or so.

I just watched the video for the acs m4, dealer mentioned the performance upgrade is covered by the warranty..

So is it covered by the BMW 3 year warranty?

the BMW warranty will be the primary cover, but if it doesn't pay out due to the drivetrain, engine or whatever part fails as a result of the ACS piggy, then ACS warranty kicks in. hopefully there are no grey areas when neither party/warranty wants to put their hands in their pocket

Thanks for that.

Guessing that if the your dealer fits it they would cover anything that breaks (not saying that it would)

That's correct. The only part the dealer got wrong is he said the upgrade was "approved". AC Schnitzer is not BMW approved, but is sold by some BMW dealers and is TUV approved.
