The H&R M550xi springs are more the cosmetic option for less wheel to fender gap than the performance option for better handling, and cosmetics seems to be the primary interest of members here. Still, maybe the lower center of gravity offsets the softer spring enough to provide some overall handling improvement.

I used the springs H&R developed for the M5 — made sense to me, but the ride is stiffer than stock on my 2018 M5. I am not sure how it would compare to a 2019 Comp. I will probably buy a used set of the late Comp struts at some point for the improved valving. Probably won’t go to coilovers like KV4 because I like the adjustable suspension settings — in my daily driving on the roads in my area, I do not need or want stiff all the time.
