H&R M550i Sport Springs on the M5 F90

I have researched this a lot and kudos go to peeps who posted their experience with H&R M5 F90 dedicates springs and some had to swap to M550Xi which is a painful process and because of you guys I was able to avert this and I owe you a big THANK YOU, and I owe you money and time!

And to pay this forum back I decided to post the pics post install &

My humble impressions (Early on, will update in a few days) and FWIW

1. Certainly handles better like 10-20% = Less Body Roll no doubt
2. Low enough and I was told by installer it will sit a little lower with time too and the shop was all over it and took pictures for their INSTAGARM (Shout out to local EuroMpire, Monroe NC and Matt the owner)
3. Cosmetically looks right and amazing and I wouldn't even go lower! For 300$ plus install about 1000$ total BTWay!
4. Stiffer? Maybe but if it makes any sense in a smooth way, so less forgiving when it gets bumpy but on smooth roads can't tell difference, I think matches what I heard about M5C

Enjoy The M550Xi Sport Springs show

Looks good- as do all the other M550 drops. When I dropped mine back in Aug on the F90 M5 H&R's I was the first to post about my dissatisfaction with the visual drop. I think over time Ive grown to be comfortable with it. Maybe cause it settled a bit but probably because Im just too lazy to go back and lower it and re align it yet again.

But damn I love how your car looks .... Fuck.

I would not say you listen but in this case you only posted maybe 22 times about lowering. So Id say you were beaten into submission here and finally gave in hahahahahahhaha. Soooma Posting Double Secret Probation Officer Police.

You will be picking up that proverbial mic yet again once you change your Dinan LOL.

Did you align the car after the drop? How many miles since the process? I have no doubts on the form, the question I have is the functionality piece. Is it more bouncy or less? How is the ride over deeper undulations and uneven pavement. Can you drive it in Sport Plus still or do you ever?

So after some basic google research, I found that the M550XI is heavier than the F90 M5 so that means it should sit lower than the M5 on the same springs.

M550XI
CURB WEIGHT - 4372 lb

F90 M5
CURB WEIGHT - 4,090 lb

I dont think the F90 is that light. I think its closer to 4300 lbs based on track tests.

And despite offering all-wheel drive, this new M5 is actually slightly lighter than the last previous-gen version we tested. The old M5 weighed 4300 lbs on our scales, while BMW says the new one weighs 4255 lbs. Not light, but impressive considering it now has a driveshaft going to the front axle.

Gotcha, good info. Then it seems like they should sit about the same.
