Congrats on having ACS springs fitted. How is the ride?
I used to change the suspension on my boy racer cars back in the day, and i've always done brakes and oil changes etc myself so it wasn't too bad.

The springs make a big difference. The F30 M Sport suspension is way too soft as standard, it creates lots of body roll, and pitches and dives under braking and acceleration, BMW really made a mess of it! I would say it's now on par with an E90 M Sport, so much more rewarding to drive, and the unnerving floatyness at speed has gone too. And the ride comfort has not been affected!

How does yours ride now? I guess not quite as sharp as the E90 with the extra weight and size? Or does the smaller engine counteract that?
