Used much of your info on wheels and springs to set up my '23 240iX with fully forged wheels and Eibachs earlier this year DaveDee. Appreciate you posting your build.

Thank you for the kind words. It's a great pleasure to share the build as it was with a fairly well known E92 M3 build. The 240 is great canvas and often can be greatly enhanced by limiting changes to making the car look more aggressive without changing the original appearance too much.
This was one of my favourite cars while I had it and really enjoyed it

The ride is definitely stiffer, and I can no longer really tell the difference between Sport and Comfort damping modes. I don't scrape much more, but there are a couple of spots where I scrape now that I didn't before. Overall not a problem. I only did a 20mm drop all around.

I can't really tell the difference in ride between stock and Eibach Pro lowering springs. I can confirm that it lowers the car sufficiently that it doesn't go over a dead badger without cracking the front splitter but I've had no problems with speed bumps.
