Different springs basically

The Adaptive suspension remains
But they have adjustable spring perches, so they're not the stock damper. I'm thinking they're defeating the adaptive functionality; and changing the OEM dampers for passive coilovers.
Interesting

I guess we'll have to wait and see the end results

It's the same Height adjustable spring kit (H.A.S.) the M3/4 use. It's the stock damper with new perches that give you the ability to adjust the spring height. This keeps the stock damper and maintains the adaptive suspension.

I don't know beauty is in the eye of the beholder. When the new 2 series came out in the Thundernight Metallic I loved it, much more than the previous generation.

Are they firmer than the stock besides being adjustable? Nice that they can be adjusted to drop up to 3/4" from stock.

Lmao. Hate to break it to you, but your f87 looks dated, soft, short, bubbly and feminine. I had two f87's and could never get over how much of a Barbie car they looked like. I drove next to one for an hour on the freeway yesterday, and confirmed everything above yet again.

The CS makes it a legit beast. Other than that I completely agree.

I'll pass and see what the aftermarket world can do with this new design, which I am not a big fan of right out of the gate.

I'm hoping the M2 will be my next car as I don't use my back seat enough. But I'm in no hurry, I'm still in love with the M3 for now.

"Hate to break it to you"

No you don't, you're trolling, which is the only reason you're "breaking it to us".

When we first saw the car, lots of comments about lack of cohesion. Why is there something missing at the bottom of the front bumper? Because they want you to buy a front lip to make it look decent. Why the weird insets in the rear bumper? They want to sell you the carbon fiber inserts for the Civic pontoon boat look.

This car was sketched out with a lot of these parts in mind from the start. Older M cars look a lot more cohesive without having to add anything else. In previous generations M Performance parts were to enhance the look, not complete it.

BTW, I wish there was an orange offered as it certainly would be an improvement over what is currently being offered.
They have to tell you it's M2, so you don't confuse it with a Ricer but..well…it is

I'd rock it in all black. Keep the awkwardly cut out spokes SAIs for a set of black BBS FIR Evos if BBS ever gets around to making them due to the glut of NASCAR orders.

Well done BMW M. Haven't said that in a while.

I don't have the kit so I can't comment about them specifically, but I'm 99% sure the ride will be stiffer than stock based on other user feedback of the KW H.A.S. kit and my experience with the AST springs I used to lower my car.

My current cat, 2016 228i, has the M Performance suspension from factory and its rather firm; you feel every bump. If it's no firmer than that I may consider them to give car a better stance and avoid warranty issues.

I guess this is the result when the original Motorsports division mostly exits motorsports.

You start making clown cars that accelerate in straight lines.

I was at COTA this weekend running with Chin Track Days. Not a single G8X car out there. I think that says a lot about the direction of M cars and who's buying them.
