Dinan does not make a coilover kit for the F10 non-M's, only for the M5. Even if they were compatible with non-M5's, they wouldn't be with his, as xDrive has an entirely different front fork setup than RWD cars.

So you have rwd? Why not just install the dinan springs?

I have xDrive, where did I suggest I have RWD? I have KW v3's

As for why not Dinan springs, I want coilovers. I want that adjustability, and the ability to adjust the compression and rebound.

The other commenter you were responding to is already on lowering springs, so I'm unsure how going from lowering springs to lower springs changes anything.

I already have Eibachs, there won’t be much difference, but coilovers, this is the next level) I’ve probably reached it, that’s why I’m thinking of installing coilovers. KW has good reviews. Yesterday I found several advertisements for the sale of used coilovers... but I don’t like used ones...

SocomCA i have LCI 2014 550i and am not able to position the 343M wheels in the wheel lip properly else cause it touches the caliper, even with 3mm spacers how do u have ample space in the rim for the wheel to sit ? did't you have any issues ?

if you are using 3mm spacers are you using wheel studs?

I installed a 3mm spacer with extended wheel lug nuts, but i had wheel vibrations. I was so tired of trying to get rid of the vibrations on my lci 550i xdrive awd with the m343 rims that i just upgraded to the m5 calipers lol so no spacers needed
