They are not oval, And Active is offering the option of 90mm and 100mm tips. They are currently waiting on the arrival of the black 90mm so they put theses on for now. I haven't seen in person yet, I'm going to pick up the car in an hour. The 100s look big but I thinking with a Diffuser the larger black tips would look pretty aggressive. Im also not a fan of the "covers'" other exhaust companies put on there tips.

Probably but who knows if it's just tail lights. Remember on the E90 you had to change the trunk lid too.

I doubt they will do a dramatic change to rear taillight like they did to e90.

I love how the car is looking Tony. Rear spoiler makes a huge difference to the rear of this car

I am running 15/15 front and rear and dropped on KW HAS. I have ZERO issues with rubbing even with 4 people in the car and going over large bumps at highway speeds that fully compress the suspension. IMO, 15/15 works perfectly.

Interesting. I guess maybe KW HAS has higher spring rates than H&R? I've had no rubbing issues at all with 15/15 and full passengers - like 5 people with 3 in the back.

I put down 80 more HP than stock, and I bet you where not driving super aggressive with 5 people . My friend that drove my M3 was ripping on it full throttle runs from a stop.

I'm looking at the same spacers and springs
How do you like the springs btw?

I like them. Firmer than stock but not harsh. Firm enough to keep car from bottoming out hard. I have standard suspension which seems to be well matched to KW HAS spring rates, whatever they are. Others w/ adaptive have indicated the car is not damped enough on comfort but works really well on sport, which I guess is similar in damping to my standard suspension.

Height adjustability is the best part - not b/c you're going to be adjusting it all the time but more so you can dial in ride height perfectly or corner balance the car if that's your thing.
