I'm amped, hoping they come through on their June promise

BMW Performance Parts is supposed to bring their M4 to Bimmerfest on May 28-29 so I'm hoping we'll get some updated release dates then.

OK. So they said there should be an announcement soon about a July/August release. Sorry but I guess we have to wait a bit longer. Maybe someone that's going today can ask again to see if they get the same info? The rep also guessed $1,000-$1,500 but that was just a guess on his part.

Im about to lower my car with KW HAS but if dates can be confirm, I would probably wait just a few more months. It seems to be a very good alternative.

Maybe check on here for others that have gone with KW HAS. I was going to pull the trigger until I started finding posts about ride quality suffering after a few hundred miles.

If a firm release date is not announced in June, I will probably go with Dinan. At this pace, my lease will be due before these are released.

My sources say the MP HAS should be announced any week now, with avail. at the end of June...

Soon!

Well not long to go if they do release the HAS, but as it will just be springs I'm not paying silly money if they want £1000 + fitting they can poke it.

I am waiting for a m4 cp due to be delivered in Sept, hoping the m performance suspension will fit the zcp as I think a little drop with the 20" wheel will look great.. Well that's if they are ever released :-)

Definitely good news if it's going to be released this summer. I don't plan on ordering until Nov, but I might be interested in this.

Interesting!! Source?

Also note the max drop is 15mm (or is this the recommended drop?), I thought the M4 M Performance car they showed off last year at SEMA was lowered 20mm.

The KW HAS by contrast lowers Front: 15-30mm, Rear: 5-30mm.

The next 28 days still qualify as June. Nobody ever said it was a June 1st announcement.

Yeah, based on the SEMA release, I was expecting a "safe" 20mm drop too.

Not that there's a night and day difference between 15 and 20mm, but 15mm is a very modest drop, especially at ~$1500 USD.

I've been anxiously waiting for this kit to come out, but that's a tough price point for those specs. Call me crazy, but now I'm seriously considering just coughing up the extra cash to get into a full coilover kit from TC Kline, Bilstein, etc.

EDIT: I'm a dumbass. Been a while since I checked exchange rates. Looks like they'll be more like $1100. I guess that's not as bad.

Not to mention the "5-6 hours install time" @ BMW dealership rates

If that's correct I'll get the KW kit or ACS springs fitted, 1000 quid for springs with a max drop of 15mm? What's the point of them being adjustable?!
