i cant decide between the v1, v2 or comfort
coming from stock im pretty sure v1 is more than enough for me... i just want a stiffer ride (without losing comfort) and of course to bridge that disgusting wheel gap.

Currently deciding on suspension too.. choices are
1. koniSA/ eibach 2. KW street comfy 3. Tein flex Z.... there not much to go on this one... no one has them on BMW. I might review it once my hook up give me a good price.😅 |

I'm trying to find out the exact drop I'll get with Bilstein B8 paired with Eibach springs, if it's just 15-20mm in the front then I'll go with Kw V1, however minimum 1.4" drop in the rear with V1 is a bit concerning. My rear wheel gap is just 1.5- 1.6", however it is 1" extra in the front(~2.5 - 2.6"). xDrive front wheel gap is ridiculous, it's actually fine in the rear. I was about to go with Bilstein B14 as the minimum drop is pretty decent, 30mm all around however I keep getting mixed reviews, some say it's really good, some say it's really bad :|
SC is about $200 extra and I don't think I'll be fiddling with the damper setting, also to adjust it in the rear is not a simple process. EDIT: As you've already figured out, EDC cancelation kit only applies to folks with adaptive suspension, saves us about $200 |

Also the minimum lowering of 1.4" is a bit concerning. I would still have 5mm wheel gap as per my calculation Front minimum lowering of V1(1.2") is good, given that there is a huge gap. Did you end up getting SC? |

Still worth it imo. Buy it once and be sure of your satisfaction.

You are right, SC will be the perfect setup. I'm trying to get the ideal setup without spending $1650 on SC, I'll also not be playing a lot with the damper settings. If I don't find anything then I'll probably have to just get the SC.

haha, I got their catalog in the mail today Even Koni doesn't have anything for F32 xDrive, Koni Yellow or SA with Dinan springs would've been an ideal setup too.
