i got them through Velos Designwerks. Might want to call them as they have experience on the gran coupe and such few shops have.

sorry to hear you are running into a situation.
Thanks, I will call them tomorrow. But I am guessing it's adaptive drive that is causing the issue.

thanks or the post and pictures. now that ive had mine for more than 2 days I am starting to find 'issues', #1 bring the jeep like ride height.

living in MN, we have TERRIBLE roads, so im thinking at most id go with a 1" drop from OEM. I'll call around and see who has what in that range, but it may be a while before Dinan releases their spring, which, while more expensive, retains full warranty (for springs and everything else suspension-related) when dealer installed. Would also look at getting 20" wheels with non RF PSS's on them, then using these oem 19's for winter.

Anyone running 20's tell me if they run staggered? or square set-up? thanks

Speaking of Dinan, I understand they are in development on ECU flash which should be good for at least 75 hp and as many ft-lbs, while, ahem, maintaining warranty. this would make our cars faster than an M6 (dure to awd putting that power down better).

Speaking of the M6. Too early to say, but i wonder if the suspension system that ships in that car (which is naturally lower than ours) could be dropped into a GC x-drive. food for though.

Barely 700 mi on the engine and Im already thinking about mods.


In need of wheel gap help!

congrats on the new car.
i know exactly how you feel.
had i been patient and sensible, i'd have waited for Dinan stuff. I've had their products on my e92 M3. Its nice to have peace of mind even when you have to pay more for their products.
I too had immediately wondered what a tune would do to this car. I remember when i put Vishnu on my e92 335, the car was transformed. This car will absolutely tear up asphalt with a tune.
Hope something good comes to the market soon.

Enjoy the car stock as it is at least for the first couple thousand miles.

I never thought i'd be the guy writing about bending a wheel and here I am with a bent front passenger wheel. Terrible MI roads happen overnight when a massive pothole shows up like magic on the same road you drive every single day.

But it looks so darn good that a new wheels is worth it.

My setup is staggered.

I am pretty sure the Dinan springs don't lower the car at all. At least they didn't on the f10.

dinan springs lower car ~ 1/2" which is better than nothing, and considering potholes and deep snow, probably smart to be conservative on drop. I called velos, and they claim the HRE springs they sell drop front 1.25", rear 1", or thereabouts. your pics look like more than that much drop, no?. hmmmmm

anyway, i called dinan today. They expect to release "stuff" (like tune) maybe by end of summer, or early fall! i can wait. enjoy the thing. get to know it.

dmd, what are complete tire size specs, front vs back, and I see you are running x-drive so rolling diameters much be close. i know they sell a staggered set-up from factory, so clearly its ok, within reason, size-match wise.

thanks

Are your H&R springs made specifically for xDrive? I haven't found anything that's specifically for xDrive.

I have 433 wheel ian fitting to my 640d but with 9.5j front and rear. Front has 255 tyres rear 285 tyres. Does anyone know if you need spacers on the front so the 9.5j wheels don't rub? If so 10 or 15mm. Anyone know if Aram who out the 433 wheels on his GC 640i used spacers on the front. Thanks guys
