Never had anything done by Motech yet, but Mike there is a decent guy, with good knowledge. Ive spoken to him a couple of times on the phone.

Yes I messaged them. Wanted to know if the M5C was low enough or not or how much they could comfortably lower it. Also the spacers I'm hoping will give it a nicer stance. Not to keen on them ripping out the interior in the back to get to back springs etc. Don't want any rattles etc after lol

I've used Motech with my current car. Would recommend very reputable. One example, Mike was not happy to fit an early prototype rear diffuser on my M135i. Wanted to wait till fitment was better from them.

I'm curious about the interior and changing rear springs, not sure if the M5 is radically different but isn't that a wheels off and then external springs/dampers work? I'm sure not otherwise you wouldn't have asked.

Hope you're enjoying the M5 and no doubt my message is far too late.

No not just wheels off, you do have to take out part of rear interior in order to add lowering springs to the F90 M5

Morning.

This is quite a bump. Well I can say I've had my entire car worked on at Motech, however for sure it's no M5 Sadly

I've done down a more economy route currently, my car was the first customer M135i Motech edition, so car #002

Could not recommend them more highly. Great work, true enthusiasts themselves and also quality. They were not happy fitting a certain diffuser on my car as they were not happy with fitment.

A couple of shots here for you, well aware an M135i won't impress any M5 owners but you get the idea.

As for a springs change, that's all exterior, nothing required interior wise that I'm aware of?

Well worth a conversation there first if you want to understand any more about the process or discuss options.
