Looking forward to your detailed review of the ride, as the stance is perfect after this mod. I have exactly the same colour, I’m in the UK. Was about to order the Eibach Pro kit springs, then came across the Macht Schnells, which lower the car by around 5-10mm more all around, and the car sits so much better for it. They’re imported into the UK so cost twice the price of the Eibachs here 🙄 I’ve reached out to Macht Schnell to find out what the spring rates are to get an idea of how they compare to the Eibachs. The reason why the M2 is not so compliant on stock factory suspension is the dampers and springs are mismatched, the factory springs are too soft for the dampers. I’ve just recently had camber plates, solid front control arm bushes and rear toe arms fitted with a full geometry alignment and it’s transformed the handling. I would love coilovers but cost is a factor right now, so looking to do springs and then like yoursel, may go the KW V3 route down the line.
👌 Looks great. You should consider an all black grill, especially with the Mineral Grey though. The chrome looks out of place on a M car imo. I'm paying down my car rn and M2 is next for me. Can't wait. Thanks for sharing your car videos! 👍
Best suspension mod ? don't cheap out and replace the dampers too. The best option is BMW's own adjustable coilover kit which utterly transforms the ride and handling, particularly on poor tarmac. Forget camber unless you're track fiend. However setting up a touch of positive toe at front and halving the neg at rear will make it handle like its on rails.
I’ll usually throw springs on my cars then eventually put coilovers on. This M2 has 13,000 miles on it, I’m not very worried about the shocks. (Mostly Daily driving and some weekend cruises) When they go out I’ll upgrade to some KW’s coilovers! Although I’m very happy with how it rides and sits. The best springs I’ve ran. Nonetheless, Thanks for the insight.
I’ve learned most of the things I know from my Dad and CZcams! Although I’ve done suspension on F chassis BMWs 6 or 7 times. I promise the first time was difficult!
If you are worried about speed I would say get a M2comp, If you want a driver focused car I’d say N55. Overall I’d say if you’re questioning it and can swing the extra money for a comp do that. After owning the N55 and S55 M2 I really enjoy the OG M2, only thing I miss out on are the front parking sensors and the cool seats.
"Imma keep it stock" 🤣 Car looks great man! Always wanted a mineral grey M2 before I picked up my 440i.
😁 haha
I love the mineral gray!
Keep the M2 content coming man. It’s PUREEEEE
Sick fitment. Beautiful garage man. That lift is dope.
Looks great, Jack! You're making me want to order Macht Schnell springs for my F80 along with their spacers. Keep up the great content.

Looks great! Can’t wait for more mods!
Thank you! I’m excited!
damnn nice fitment
Thank you 😁

That’s awesome, Check out my recent posts on @imzipy on instagram!
its like the perfect fitment
I think so too 🫡
Perfect for daily driving.

so clean
Thanks Luke!
Great work, are you a trained mechanic or picked it all up? Seem to know what youre doing for sure

Im contemplating this same setup but with 10m spacers. Do you think it will still look sick
10mm is better imo i will switch to them eventually!
Fire bb
Thanks bb 🦍
Looks great. Why not coilovers though?
Mostly cost. I’d love to get some nice coilovers in the future but for now $400 springs will do!
Hey Jack, are you still running the stock tyre size 245/265?
Yes i am!
Rate 1-10 how the install went
8.5 🤓
5:07 was that a scratch ?
Hey that’s just the PPF! M2, M3, M4’s all have PPF in that area from factory.
What would u recommend an n55 or s55 m2?

Where the Denali the F90?
Funny you noticed!
We traded the Denali for a X5 M60, we put some vossens on that.
F90 Was out front for the video!
