Hi - I'm looking to lower my '21 M850i GC and was wondering if anyone can suggest who to use H&R, Eibach or AC Schnitzer. Also would like like use spacers as well and size used would be helpful. I was told with OEM wheels I should get 12MM (F) and 15MM (R). Thanks for your help.

I used H&R springs and spacers and happy.

what was spacer size you used for front and back?

[MELLOWYELLOW06]

I used 12 mm out back and 15 in the front, but i have a convertible M8 with factory wheels and Michelin tires.

Im sure it will be different on an M850i.




Here is a post of someone recently doing spacers an M850.
Doesn.t seem to be lowered though.


Same size spacers but switched from front to back.

Sorry for the bad angle, don’t have better pic.

How do the H&R Springs ride on the M850i? Considerably stiffer than stock or not too bad? As stiff as the M8?

Not sure. It is customer's car.
I only drove it around the parking lot to make sure installation is done properly and no noises.
In general though, H&R is a little bouncy.

Thanks for the reply. Are Eibach pro kit springs typically a bit softer?

I use Future classic and have tracked wth them. No issues, no nvh at all.

For lowering, kw v3 though..I suggested to KW that stiffer springs be used. I expected a much firmer ride with the coilovers.

Eibach usually is firmer without the bounce.
But Eibach USA has been busy with truck market.
