Thank you very much.
Indeed I am okay.
But I still wake up every morning thinking about the last seconds right before the crash.

Everyday I change my mind about lowering my CS.

Today you are convincing me to lower it.

Looks good

And I still highly recommend the KW HAS !

Are KW HAS the same as the M Perf springs? This looks amazing

I believe they have a little different spring rates, and the HAS gives you the option to lower farther down if that is a goal.

I am a fan of grey cars, and agree that Limerock...well, rocks! Very sorry to hear of the crash, glad you are okay and seemingly have a positive attitude about the situation.

Do it.
It was the best decision for me!

The positive attitude was hard to find because it's the second accident in one year.
But indeed, you have to accept that and looking forward to future updates on the car. At the end, it's only a car.

Interesting, like Fashion Grey (Pics HERE), Limestone appears to have a green-ish hue depending on lighting conditions and looks about a shade or 2 darker.

No they are not. While the MP-HAS are manufactured by KW, they have a different design and have different spring rates than KW's own offering.

Limerock, like the race track. Not Limestone

I'm ashamed to admit, I've had my LRG for 2 days now and I have yet to see in in direct sunlight. It's been sitting in my garage waiting for the weekend to come!!!!

Slightly off topic: Does anyone know the production numbers on the LRG M3CS?

Appreciate it! Is there a list of production numbers! I'd love to see how many frozen dark blue there were too!

It’s all here: https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1551939

We now have the final colour breakdown for the 607 M3cs that landed in the US:

209 SMB
125 AW
118 BSM
~81 LRG
~74 FDB

SWB surprises me. I thought AW would be the most common.

When you think of it, SMB was the "poster" colour for the CS. Further, in the US, for $550 on the CS you get a colour that costs $5000 on the regular M3. Quite the deal.

Sorry to bring back an old thread but update on the car? Also, couple of questions. What mm spacers F/R are being used in those pics? What are the main differences between the KW HAS and the M perf suspension? Can you get that drop with the M perf suspension?

I used 10mm on each wheel in the front and 5mm on the rear.
The KW springs are stiffer and will have a slightly deeper drop.

WAAAT · 06-13-2019, 07:56 AM

that's pretty cool how the sun transform it to another color.

There seems to be a KW HAS v1 & v2.

Anyone know the difference?

OP the drop, the car, everything looks perfect.
