F80 BR series BC Racing coilovers install

So far I've only seen one thread on the install for BC Racing coils so I was a bit nervous about purchasing them. Although I was unsure about them, I decided to pull the trigger and make the purchase and didn't look back once. The install is quite easy, even for a novice, as this is my second time ever doing suspension, the first time was installing lowering springs. All together it took me around 13 hours to complete the install, which includes a couple of breaks to go get tools and other things I needed. If you are on the fence about purchasing BC coils go for it, it's the best decision I've made for my car, and I look forward to seeing how they feel after they've settled. PM me if you need help with your install I'd be happy to help!

Well there is a thread from Sean@PSI that helped develop the set up with BC racing....

I also know that there was a endurance racing team that started with a E90 then went to a F82 and they also helped with the development. They are great units for the money..... I might be getting a set again soon. I am just having trouble letting go of the damn 3 mode switch that I have on this one

Yeah, that was why I did lowering springs first, but after a while I decided that I'll just do it and if it turns out that I really don't like loosing that feature then I'll sell them. So far I haven't really missed it but I've only had the coils on the car for 2 days.
