No, still waiting, but I think it will be the best option for those who want to retain the EDC function, while having better damping tuning.

I'm in the uk also. Dealer confirmed April 16 when I asked last December as it was listed on their system. However I checked with them again last week and they said its disappeared from their screen so have no clue on eta!!

Not sure if this is true or a case of the operator pressing the wrong buttons on his computer however the two dealers I've checked with both couldn't find it listed

Better system than just a spring and perch set. You'll be pleased.

Meh, I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a KW V3 or JRZ RS 2 Touring. This is taking too long:P

One of the most appealing things about the BMW set up to me is that the spring rates have supposedly been optimized specifically for the F8x through track testing, something I've not heard about any of the other after market options. That and the fact that all the hardware has been designed for the F8x and that the set up should work well with EDC makes me inclined to continue waiting.

I'm still torn between getting the Eibach springs or waiting for this.

I'm just looking for a modest drop, mainly in the front.

I have H&R sport springs on now. I find them too low and a bit bouncy. Looking for a better performing option and, like you, a modest drop. Frankly, I am more concerned about performance than looks.

yup totally agree.... I know KW makes these, but it appears BMW has fined tuned it to work out any kinks.

JRZ RS2 Touring are sick, but expensive.

I hear great things about them. I wonder if they are overkill though.

I have had KW V2 and V3 on two different cars now and for street use they are good.

Smooth ride and good damping tuning. My only complaint about them with the F8x platform is they lower the rear a little too much.

The M2 M Performance coilovers are said to be released at the end of March, so I guess that's when they'll release the M4 kit as well.

haha I'm getting impatient. it's either these or eibach springs. two more months before spring arrives and i want to get these and the summers wheels on pronto. getting sick of driving around winter tires.

My original plan was also with the Eibach until these showed up.

I am also looking at the Ground Control HAS that also include the camber plates.

Might as well get K.W. HAS. It's practically the same thing except with a BMW label attached onto it.

And without the additional R&D BMW put into it. If they're not lying.

So the M2 M Performance springs will be available before the M2 hits the streets. And the M3/4 springs will be out whenever. That makes a lot of sense.

Yeh, nah

The benefit of M Perf versions is BMW have tuned them for the M cars and will also offer a factory warranty. Big difference bud
