BC Coilover Install on my 2011 M37s

I finally jumped the bullet and got my BC Coilovers.

Install was simple with the exception of the adjustments to a good height on them.

I was amazed with how low or high it can really go. My first test drive was with a low setting and at 0 setting for dampening which caused the top of the control arm to hit the body of the car... raised it another inch and no problems at all.

driving and playing with the dampening was the key. After a good 10 minutes of R&D I found my perfect settings for a luxury drive with only a slightly stiffer drive than with my Eibach springs on.

I think BC Coilovers hit the target on this one with the great comfort. I just wish I did them sooner.


STOCK HEIGHT


W/ EIBACH LOWERING PROKIT SPRINGS (1.2"front drop, 0.8" rear)
(NOTE: the eibachs worked great and did what they claimed of the ride lowering.... I just like to be slammed)

I was very suprised at the ride quality which was important to me since it's a $58k luxury car and should be comfy w/ 4 people in it. I have the settings at 14 in the front and 12 in the rear for dampening and is a little stiffer but still rides very well. I'll compare this ride to my friends 335i that has a stiffer ride than our G's or M's...

looks sweet but SUPER LOW especially when you look at the relative drop compared to Eibachs. do you have to really watch it on some driveways?

did they come with camber adjustability as well?
