Planning to order a G80 M3 in the next week or two if I can get a dealer allocation. Also need to figure out the roof rack / trailer hitch situation…

Trailer hitch will be very tough, as the muffler is so large there isn't any space for it. However a G20 kit will more than likely fit with some cutting of the diffuser and an aftermarket axle back.
And yes springs set the ride height and stock dampers already have plenty of downtravel. Before springs came out for m3/m4 shops were installing g20/g22 springs on em. However they will more than likely be WAY undersprung. Will not drive like it does at delivery and may have some undesirable characteristics.
[EDIT] I will also say barrel clearence on the front 18's is TIGHT. I only had mine on for 2k miles or so and I already had a good scratch in the barrel from a piece of gravel getting caught between the caliper and barrel... And I kept off the beaten path.
