Get air bags so you can change the ride height. Lower for the street and higher for driveways and have it detect and adjust automatically with cameras

Would love to but don't want to do that much work on a lease. Springs are quick. Thanks for responding

i just recently put h&r sport springs on my 340i xdrive. really happy with the look. the ride quality was definitely affected though. rougher over bumps and manhole covers now, but its not intolerable by any means. its worth it though because the springs make the car look so much better

I lowered mine with H&R Sport springs and kept the stock M Sport shocks. I also changed from 225/45r18 run flats to 245/40s and the ride got a lot better.

First thing I thought of when I read this was an analogy of girls trying to justify wearing heels. Sooo uncomfortable, but they look sooo good lol
