I wish they'd let us know when the springs will be available, not interested in full coilovers personally! But I'm getting tempted with eibach / ACS springs would rather use oem parts and keep full peace of mind.

The m4 "coilovers" are not true coilovers. They use the stock EDC shock. Basically just springs with adjustable height. So you'll be good!

Adjustable between 5-25mm drop front and rear. Those are HAS.

Ahh yes sorry I know that. What wasn't listed was the spring only drop. Not the height adjustable kit. There are two options showing on the mperformance retail system Spring only and coil over. The drop is only listed for the coil over

For an M car , I'm frankly disappointed with the stock shock performance given the technology and available options in today's market. BMW M division has fallen behind in the shock damping technology. They are using outdated technology and even some budget cars are getting the up-to-date magnetic shock technology.

That would equate to about $2500 and $1k or so US. Holy M-tax! Shocks are not even included. I hope the information is not accurate or at the very minimum include more expansive installation or re-tuning of the EDC system, cuz that'd be ridiculous.

The rumored coils overs would be true coil-overs with both springs and shocks. But there is no official word from BMW so far that I know of regarding those.

But even then, if it is $1300USD for the HAS and $3300USD for true coil-overs (with shocks), that is still rather pretty competitive IMO

Oh I misread and was unaware they were coming out with a true, full shock and adjustable spring coilover system.
In that case the pricing seems appropriate for both. I'm looking to add the HAS system to my stock EDC's, and was afraid it'd be the $2-3k range. Thanks! |

Depending on how extreme BMW makes those full coilovers compared to the confirmed HAS they are coming out with, I don't see the point on getting the former. Specially if you have EDC. You're basically doing BMW sleeves with your OEM shock assembly. Warranty intact. Compared to say.... some KW HAS on your stock shocks. Peace of mind, peace of mind, peace of mind.
Here's the pic at SEMA with their sleeve overs installed. To me it's the perfect drop, looked great in person as well. MAYBE drop in some spacers and I'm set. I like having some amount of normal wheel gap. IMO, totally eliminating wheel gaps just looks like you're unable to turn your wheel just for some "hellaflush" look. To each their own though. Like I said in my previous reply to this thread, after talking to the guys at the booth, they guessed it would be around the same price as Dinan's which at this moment is $1600. Wouldn't make sense to have it greatly differ. But who knows what BMW could do Last edited by Ever.; 01-09-2016 at 05:52 AM.. |

That's a 20mm drop. I think it looks great and still some what practical. I read that the spring rates are specially designed for the bmw m4 so it's not the exact same setup as the KW HAS.
Q: What are the details of the M4 M Performance Suspension? A: The M4 M Performance Suspension maintains the factory adaptive EDC function and uses your factory struts to retain adjustability depending on driving experience mode selected (comfort, sport or sport+). It’s paired with stiffer springs and a revised bumpstop tuned for better performance. It comes with an adjustable perch for height adjustability (from 5mm to 25mm drop). The kit is developed in conjunction with KW and it is based on their sleeve-over suspension kit. The difference with the BMW M Performance coilover kit is the M Performance Specific spring rates, bumpstops, and assorted hardware. As with all BMW M Performance Parts, the factory warranty is retained when installed by a trained BMW technician. The springs are manufactured by KW specifically to BMW M’s spring rates and the kit has been tested on a four post rig and fine tuned at the Nurburgring. The reason why retaining EDC function was important is because the take rate on EDC is 70-80% on the M3/M4 in the US. For your reference, the M4 on the SEMA floor is lowered 20mm. |

The BMW system (and the HAS) keeps the original shocks, but only changes the springs and the ride height. Therefore the electronic control of the adaptive shock is maintained. What I don't know, and haven't seen any comment on is whether the ECU is reflashed at all, to alter the adaptive control?? Also sounds like BMW is coming out with a full coilover replacement, that will replace the springs and original shocks, but replace them with adaptive compatible shock absorbers. Bilstein also have a system (B16 damptronic) that replaces spings and shocks, and the shocks are supposed to be adaptive compatible, and controlled by the car. |

I'm hoping that they release the availability and pricing for the coil overs soon now that ZCP is officially announced. I don't think there is any connection but perhaps more wishful thinking

I bet there likely will be a connection. The ZCP set up could use the new HAS springs in combination with the adaptive suspension. Or maybe the new coil over set up?
