Check the 312 offset and width. Alloy wheels direct will have the info on their website. The rears on mine are 10" ET35 not spaced and sit flush. Post up what you find re your wheels and we'll see what's needed.

I am bit confused as my wheels are 10J with 38 ET. So it should be 3mm difference compared to your however it can take 10mm spaces. So mine or yours....one of our ET is not correct. 3mm difference should not allow you to have 10mm spacer.

Not great photos but gives you idea how it looks. Rear is similar to M sports but front is slightly dropped. Perhaps 1 inch. Its handling which is better on high speeds and less body roll.

Fitment and tracking was nearly £300. Springs were £150 (if I remember correctly).

Body roll is minimum and literally no squatting on hard acceleration / stop. So that is where it is good. Also drop is good, especially with M5 bumper. I guess there is 10-12cm gap b.w the bottom of the bumper and road. Since I never had F10 M sport so I cannot compare it to M springs. However I had 330d M sport and when I put eibach pro on that car, it was very stiff yet comfortable. Whereas Eibach pro spring on F10 has softer ride than 330d M sports. The other way of comparing is driving it on private road and checking the stability on high speeds. When 330d was tested, it was like a rail cabin at 100mph. Very stable. Whereas F10 on eibach springs still feel soft at 100mpg and since body is big, more air resistance make it bit of unsteady at that speed. So, to reiterate Eibach pro are not 'firm' as I thought. Perhaps ACS are stiffer than Eibach pro or H&R. I do not want any further drop at the front but perhaps a bit more stiffer ride. PS: I have compared my finding pre spring / post springs on 20 inch wheels.

I got 12mm spacers in the front and 18mm spacers in the rear on my OEM 351M 19" wheels with winter tyres. Even if they're 19" the offsets and widths are the same.

Yes i'm really enjoying the car, especially now with the ACS springs & Steinbauer box i bought myself for xmas! Yea Superman means EB & CR, well known colour combo over in F30post. Definitely less steering feedback than my E90 due to the electric power assistance. Sport mode is no better, just heavier. It doesn't really bother me, i actually prefer the lighter steering overall. |

Re: Steering wheel feedback, same here. Some bwm enthusiast think that bmw is loosing its recipe of true ultimate machine due to these changes..... however the suggest that bmw will still be ultimate machine at a given time when you compare it to other cars.... I feel disconnected due to this steering wheel!!! As you said E9x steering wheel feeling was so good. I had Electronic steering wheel on E91 and it was miles better than F10 steering wheel feel.

I wouldn't say i feel disconnected, but yes definitely not as connected as the hydraulic steering. I've currently got none run flat winter tyres on and they do improve the feel a bit over the run flats. I'm considering switching my summers to Michelin Pilot Super Sports as many are raving about them! |

My understanding was that it tweak the fuel pressure and boost pressure as those are two connectors which are getting intercepted.
