G26 i4 M50 H&R Lowering spring kit. Life is full of ups and downs.

A while back I talked to a couple of M50 customers, and I got the feeling that the car is not low enough, and that the gap between the wheels and the fender is too large.
It seems that the feeling is unanimous, because the guys from H&R, just like AC Schnitzer, already put out the solution, each brand with their own lowering springs.

According to official data, H&R can lower the front of your ride by 30 mm, and the rear adaptive suspension will lower anywhere between 20mm and 40mm, for a more streamlined look, and better stability. Installation shouldn't take longer than a day, so plan ahead.

And the photos of how it went:

Thanks for the pics. Any help on the front for getting the strut out? The front strut sits way down into the knuckle-more so than most cars it seems with this setup. I've seen some use a prybar to push down on the front control arm to get leverage.

Is loosening the bolts for the lower wishbone necessary?

It is required to remove the strut.
