Question 2013 F06 640i Gran Coupe Lowering Springs

Picking up some 21's, and looking to clean up the unsightly fender gap. What are my options for springs?

I see that Eibach and AC Schnitzer both make them, but I'm not sure what else is available. I think both aren't compatible with cars with self-leveling. How do I know if my car has self-leveling?

Also for the 640, do all versions (F06, F12, F13) use the same suspension?

Thanks in advance.

No 6 has self leveling, just EDC which changes damper response. F06 is competely different from F12/13. Dinan also has springs.

I would just go with coilovers hands down, the ability to adjust, your stock shocks wont be shot over time too from your lowered car..

I went with H&R springs on my F13 and they are compatible with the adaptive drive.
Drop is not too aggressive but a big improvement from the stock version.

Cheers

The only thing I found for the 650GC xDrive is AC Schnitzer! I don't think anyone else is making springs/coilovers for it yet!

Question

So my car actually has Adaptive Drive and Active Roll Stabilization (ARS). I see that most lowering springs are not compatible with Electronic Damper Control (EDC). Is ARS essentially a newer version of EDC?

Does this mean that all the springs (that aren't compatible w/ EDC) also aren't compatible with ARS equipped cars? What other lowering options are available?

Thanks for the replies guys, I appreciate the help.
