What did you think? I never had the stock suspension on mine so only have the non-M to compare to. They are in a different league, damping-wise, but I still wish I had a bit more rear travel.
2008 Z4MC: heavy wheels | crap suspension | skittish rear end | wobbly engine | not enough induction noise | underwhelming turn in | inconsistent braking | lardy battery | chubby steering wheel
2006 Z4 2.5si: gone

I’m also a very happy owner of Eibach Pro springs/oem shocks. In my view how the Z4M should have left the factory.
Will however put on the KW V3 kit in a few weeks, as I already have it. Will get back with my 5cents.

Yes I really liked them ..... but I’m struggling to justify the cost /hassle ! If I need to run 10mm spacers , that means running a slightly stretched tyre , so new Tyres , fitting , setting up properly... and so and so on !

Gets the flame suit ready ..... although I did think they are were very good , the eibach springs for the money are also very good indeed in my opinion, coupled with the new rear bush’s and limiter kit , I think I’ll be happy enough ..... I have ohlins on my s2k and again in my opinion are a step above the kw’s , so comparing the kw to ohlins I’m not sure I’d be happy .

I must be getting old as I’m starting to think more about these big purchases and if for my use they are worth it .
