I'm still waiting to receive my 440i so I am buying some parts to install ahead of time. I want coilovers to lower the car, but my driveway is very steep and won't let me lower the car to my liking.

I'm looking into coilovers with front lift systems and found Fortune Auto has an option, but it's very expensive. Has anyone used them before? Are there any other options available for the f30/f32? Or a kit you can piece together for cheaper?

And I'm not interested in bags. I drove in a car with them and didn't like the ride or opportunity for more maintenance issues. I'm specifically looking for a coilover with a front lift system.

thats pretty cool but i dont think you can drive on it aired up. i think its just for slow crawling over stuff

How low are you trying to go? Are you trying to stance out your car lol?

yeah that's not a problem. i would never drive around with it up, just to get over stuff. besides driveways i know a lot of local people have issues getting onto alignment racks or dealers that won't take your car if it's too low.

nope, just want to tuck some tread. this car's ride height is perfect, but i know with the front lip i'd have some issues. otherwise i have no desire to have a bunch of camber with the lip of my wheels poking out, but i know springs won't be low enough for me.

Regarding the KW HLS I am also interested.
I asked directly to KW Germany and was told that it was not possible on F3X models. I did not quite understand why. It seems that it is necessary that in the threaded portion there are at least 60mm of space for the spring to work correctly.
There was a fellow in the forum who installed it F555 http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...=876888&page=4
I don't know if he had any problems, but he changed the springs of the HLS kit for others also of KW but with higher spring rate…
I told KW, and they told me that they did not approve of that combo. I also sent a private to F555, but it seems that it is no longer active and never responded
I will resume the subject soon and make a final decision. If you get any info to the subject, I would greatly appreciate you to publish it here

The main issue with the KW ones is price. It looks like it's even more expensive than the Fortune Auto Version. It also looks slower than he other piston ones, and gives you less lift. Probably not the best option of the bunch.

ISC sells a modular kit, but I'm not sure if it'll fit other coilovers or not. if it's true that all of these coilovers are basically the same (Megan Racing, BC Racing, ISC, KSport, etc) just different colors, than it may work with more options.

Can always go with a standard coilovers system and get aircups. They fit on the top of the springs and raise and lower the car with either s button or an app probably in this day and age. Not super expensive either.
