Had a set of H&R springs installed on my M850 several days ago at my local BMW dealer. I did get a family discount, but was still fairly expensive. Currently trying to put some miles on it and letting the springs settle before I go back to dealership for an alignment. Took a quick picture before putting it up before the rains come.
So far the car feels a little bouncy on the Comfort setting but on Sport Plus the car rides much better. Not sure what experience others have with these springs, but please share them. I'm currently running 20x9.5 wheels on front with a 265 tire and 20x10.5 on the rear with a 305 tire. |

I ran the H&R springs originally because it was the cheapest option. In my opinion the spring rate is a little soft for the 8 series. I had rubbing on all four corners (mostly rear). My last issue was that I could not get my alignment back to factory spec. I also had a set on my E46 M3 and I had the same issue with rubbing/alignment issues.
I am currently running KW HAS kit. The Laws provide a firmer spring rate and includes bump stops that are excellent. I hope your experience is better after breaking them in with the H&Rs… By the way you have a beautiful M850 |
