I would go as far as to say that the ride comes very close to my other Bimmer, a E92 M3.
I've done about 50.000 kms with the springs so far. IMO the springs are only useful in combination with AD, IAS and large rims.
Non-RFTs would probably make it perfect (I'm running RFTs).

With that said, you are 110% on the money. I couldn't imagine this car any different and glad you remain happy with the springs.

The ACS springs plants the F10 and work perfectly with AD and IAS. I run often at 130mph plus sustained for 20-30 minutes plus and the three (springs, AD and IAS) plant my 550 so well its an incredible experience. I believe the last step to totalness will be when I purchase replacement tires soon, I will be going with the michelin pilot ss.

2 weeks until I travel to Hartge for their ECU mod, I will have to find some competition to hang with me on the A62 run

ps. I am heading up your way late May with the wife and kids for some windmills and clog shopping, I hope the weather is fair.
I'm also very satisfied with the ACS lowering springs.
