YES Looks good! Wrapped with XPEL as well, or painted gloss black?

No, not yet. It's only lowered 30mm. Here you see the car driving in Sport level.

How much did you shorten and lengthen the end links to achieve an even 30mm in drop?

How is the ride now in comfort and sport compared to stock? Is the new comfort essentially like riding in stock sport mode?

My dealership did the mounting. We had to adjust it several times to get the right riding height and side view.

The ride is still good in comfort mode at normal level. A bit stiffer in the lowest drivable level. In sport mode it's stiffer and handling better. Remember it's only 30mm lower on every airmatic level.

Sick setup. I am really liking the stance. what does the actual "load" level looks like? Does that also void the manufacturer warranty?

Thanks You see the "load level" on the side shot higher up here ... The lowering links was mounted by my local BMW dealership. No warranty issues.
