Random Request: M3 CS Ground Clearance

I have a random request re ground clearance on a 2018 BMW M3 CS. Would anyone be kind enough to measure the distance from the ground to the lowest point of the CS lip on stock suspension? I took this measurement back when I had my CS but didn't record it or commit it to memory. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for this. The measurement appears to be off since the vehicle appears to be parked on Swisstrax or similar and not the ground. Any chance you (or someone) can measure with the car sitting on a concrete/asphalt surface?

iirc, ended measuring between 3.5" - 4" on the front and it was on the lowest setting. It scraped on my driveway at a different angle approach.
