20 In Wheels and suspension question

When you install a 20 inch set on wheels on a F10 with M sport package is it really necessary to install lowering springs?

Is the F10 with M sport package lower than the regular cars without this option?

Thanks for your input on the matter!!!

No, you don't have to, but it will look better.
M-sport 704 suspension lowers 10mm.

704 is the option code for the m-sport passive suspension.

I don't have mine lowered and I think it looks great as is.

You dont have to do it to look good with 20's, however,
if you are willing to drive more carefully to avoid bumps
and steeper driveways, it will look that much better.

Before lowering



And after

If you're going to add a nice set of 20" wheels, to lower it would only be the natural thing to do. Before you drop your money on a new set of 20's I'd check out some 21" wheels first, they look amazing on the F10.
