Hi!

Could someone tell me, what's the best specs for E91 with M springs? It should look something like this:

But they don't have specifics with M springs, M springs are lower than the original springs. They don't bring out specs to M-Sport springs. Or am i blind? 😂

no they don't specify but do say that it may affect fitment. (for what it's worth)

Those in the picture are not M Springs. No factory springs go that low.

To play around with how much room you have, go to willtheyfit.com and enter your current specs and the wheels you like and see how much they move out from factory specs.
I have 18x8 ET20 wheels with 225/40R18 tires with ST coilovers on pretty much the highest setting and they work fine. For the above look, in the rear, you'd want wider wheel (i.e. staggered setup) or spacer.

I've got 18" 8.5" all around right now for summer setup and i don't want 18"s anymore, cuz they look small and odd under the car. That's why i'm looking for 19". I already have 12mm spacers.

Then just measure how much space you have left to the fender edge and using the calculator above, you will be able to find the spec to fit your needs.
FIY, 19" may look better, but will not be as comfortable.

The site is down at the moment, but seems like i have to get the tape measure out 😀 Yeah, i know the 19" wont be as comfortable as 18"

Unless you're going to 275's or 9.5" wide on ET20 you're going to fit fine. M sport springs are the same thing as sport springs which is basically monster truck height at this point.
Not low at all. Pre LCI had 8 mm of more room.

And if you're doing sporty driving 18" with more tire sidewall usually rides slightly better and is often lighter. If you want 19s for looks you need to go lower than sport springs.

Read somewhere that sport springs are 10mm lower than stock and m-sports are 10mm lower than sport springs.

M sport doesn't make a difference, all OE springs are very close in height and sport and M sport springs are identical.

It matters much more the width and offset, because your suspension has to compress regardless of how high you start.

Short version, M sport springs doesn't matter. Their guide will work for you
