Its minute to say the least and this is not a track car. If you are the least concerned I would just keep it OEM.

But, damper valving will not since you are still using stock damper. So, you will still be in control on your dampening via the driving mode.

What I'm trying to confirm is whether a change in springs will impact the electronic features/adjustability of the suspension. Sounds like "no", but just wanted to make sure I have a full understanding before doing a switch. I don't want to find out later that a spring switch eliminated comfort mode or something else.

Thanks for the clarity and as Wintendo stated, you are not going to lose any EDC functionality. The main intent of the springs, to me, is form over function. You want a better eye sight of the car when parked as did I. I still wallow over going to the M550i set up but for several reasons I hold off: 1. When I back out of my garage in my other cars the F90 looks plenty low but then again I backing in an R8, GTS, Porsche or an NSX and they are all much lower 2. Im lazy and dont want to go and lose a day for lowering further and then realigning. 3. I dont like Ben LOL aka r33_RGSport and he does my local work 4. Im lazy

You are changing the geometry of the oem specs and will need to reset the camber, caster, and toe. Most shops will have the OEM specs and can get the car back to range. If you dont do this you will possible have excessive tire wear and handling issues plus other issues like steering pull.

1" or less usually is not a big deal. But, again, it will depending on the suspension setup. In this case, the suspension design is double wishbone / multilink. Where the alignment doesn't change much. Camber, usually on double wishbone (front on F90 M5) is not adjustable. While on the rear, multilink, is adjustable both toe and camber. On McPherson suspension design though, like 2/3/4 series (include M), there is camber adjustment on the front. What kills the tire is mainly the toe setting.

I'll need to get my 1200 mile service done in the not too distance future, so could probably have an alignment done at the same time at my dealership.

But, usually I recommend to have the spring settled for 1-2 weeks before alignment.

Decided to go 15 front/11 back + H&R F90 Sport Springs. Car is going to the shop tomorrow for install. I'll post some before and after pics so people can get an idea of the drop on a M5 Comp.
