Love the look. I thought of running these springs from time to time. For now, the TSW seems to be just fine. Maybe on the R56 build...

Love them thus far...installed these along with new KYB frunt strut mounts, and it fixed all my vibrations / slight shaking at 70+ mph.

Rides better than stock (honestly), and handling/response is drastically improved!

A new pic after putting about 350 miles on the springs:

I'm going to get a 5mm spacer to push the rear wheels out a little bit for a more aggressive stance shortly.

Did you run into any rubbing or fitment troubles with 18x8" wheels and 215/40/18 tires? I am trying to decide if this setup will work...I have a 2013 Mini Cooper s hardtop stock suspension could you help?
