Used much of your info on wheels and springs to set up my '23 240iX with fully forged wheels and Eibachs earlier this year DaveDee. Appreciate you posting your build.

Thank you for the kind words. It's a great pleasure to share the build as it was with a fairly well known E92 M3 build. The 240 is great canvas and often can be greatly enhanced by limiting changes to making the car look more aggressive without changing the original appearance too much.
This was one of my favourite cars while I had it and really enjoyed it

The ride is definitely stiffer, and I can no longer really tell the difference between Sport and Comfort damping modes. I don't scrape much more, but there are a couple of spots where I scrape now that I didn't before. Overall not a problem. I only did a 20mm drop all around.

I can't really tell the difference in ride between stock and Eibach Pro lowering springs. I can confirm that it lowers the car sufficiently that it doesn't go over a dead badger without cracking the front splitter but I've had no problems with speed bumps.

Mine have settled to just the right height now and the ride quality is better than stock and handling improved quite some.
Sorry for pulling you back in this side of the forums. I know you no longer have the M240 but I really like the FRONT LIP you had on the car! Do you mind sharing which LIP it is and where to find it? THANK YOU!!

I have a huge regret selling this and happy to answer.
Some really good news; you already own the front lip, its the OE lip. I removed it and took it to a body shop and had it prepped and painted gloss black. Wrapping it with a quality wrap just never worked painting it was the answer.
The OE lip is really a good design for the car and when lowered it does not bottom out all the time and if it does, being rubber it won't shatter
