M Sport or get H&R Sports with these wheels?

My car shows up Saturday, Rotiforms show up tomorrow and my Burger package is lost in a UPS truck somewhere in this snow so maybe tomorrow. My car will be stock for maybe twenty four hours after delivery.

Car: Black on black 2009 335i sedan with Sport pkg, nav, M Sport suspension, hi-fi sound and only 33k miles.

Wheels: Rotiform cast INDs front-19x8.5 et30 after a 15mm spacer Rear-19x10s et25 no spacer.

Tires: Toyo Proxes 4 Plus 235/35 and 265/30

Burger goods: JB4, catch can, DCIs


Finally my question, will H&R Sport springs be worth it or are my gaps going to be okay with the M Sport suspension?

From what I've heard H&R's don't do much with the sport suspension. The ones for the non sport (like mine) cars drop them a fair bit.

And the M Sport suspension is even a touch lower than the Sport right?

M-sport suspension = sport suspension with VERY slightly shorter bumpstops and VERY slightly thicker sway bars.

H&R sport gets rid of 90% of the wheel gap in the front, and tucks a bit of tire in the back.

With M-sport suspension, you will have huge wheel gaps like the normal sport suspension.

Not exactly what I'm saying because I really wished the front would be 1/4" lower so it can tuck the same amount of tires as the rears.

But other than that, everything else is perfect.

Tein springs might do that. They say 1.4 in front and 1.2 in the rear versus 1.3 and 1.2 for the H&Rs.

I'm not ready to drop $2k on the suspension. I can still sell at a profit right now most likely.
