So in the end... will said driver notice it as in a softer bit less controlled ride or as in a but more harsh jarring ride?

Ive had spacers on my current M3 and my previous M3. No issues during high speed runs or canyon carving. All good here.

"I wouldn’t say “anyone”. It is probably not noticeable to a majority of drivers, but some more sensitive ones will feel the difference."
And half of those wouldn't notice unless they were told that spacers were added.

I just installed 12mm spacers all around yesterday. First time ever using spacers. Zero vibrations on my long test drive at various speeds.
I have 19's but took the time to brush off all debris/rust on the hub and mating surfaces behind the wheel itself. |

I just installed Turner's 10mm front and rear with integrated hub lip (genius) and there is no difference in ride quality. The only difference is when I look down the line from the front or rear it sits as I might imagined it should have from the factory!

Some may not notice the difference with spacers but a spacer will cause the suspension to ride softer.
Think of a torque wrench: the farther away from the pivot point, the less force is needed.

Adding 10-15mm might be minuscule if you consider the length of the suspension piece along the axis that you're adding it to. Without precise instruments, there's no way to tell if it's harsher.

Simple answer: neither. The spacers aren't going to alter the spring rates or shock valving.

Wrong, they do. However, if one is able to feel it is another question.

Old post but I removed my spacers to pass a vehicle inspection issued by a bored popo and I instantly felt a difference. Car felt less bouncy over crappy roads.
My car is quite low with 1/4" wheel gap so everything is amplified. |
