We fitted Cobra lowering springs, performance carbon kit by LYTE and Bimecc wheel spacers to the G90 M5 and super pleased with the outcome in comparison to stock. See specs below.

Rear: 25mm

Bimecc Wheel Spacers
Front: 15mm
Rear 15mm

LYTE Performance Pre-Preg Carbon Kit
3pc Front Splitter
Side Skirts
2pc Rear Diffuser


These can be purchased as a full stance kit, springs only or spacers only through AUTOID.

Great job guys! Keep us posted.

Can't wait to get mine and start with all the mods.
Lowering and spacers are a must for sure.

Looking forward to see the new bodykit/parts installed on this beast!

Thank you mate, we can't wait either! Looking to have our TRE body kit land with us early Q2 so looking forward to showcasing that with a set of aftermarket wheels.

That drop looks more like 10mm than 30. But photos don't do the sheer size of this car justice.

As long as you are happy with the suspension, the look is fantastic. And that’s ignoring the fabulous wax/ceramic work on the MBB. It’s stunning. Enjoy in good health!

I'm still not a fan of the rear diffuser. The stock one looks much more appealing and the tailpipes, which are already far too undersized, are more prominent. Everything else looks very nice

I am curious how much these modifications cost. The other alternative is to spec slightly wider and taller tires. They will fill the gaps up similarly and offer a far more compliant ride. That mod will also likely save many thousands of dollars and avoid the risks of spacers, however big or small that risk is.

Yeah the tail pipes certainly look lost with that performance rear diffuser. We're in talks with Milltek to extend these out further.

Cobra Lowering Springs: $314 / £279 (inc VAT)
Bimecc Spacers (15mm all round): $224 / £199 (inc VAT)

Certainly a larger sidewall will improve compliancy if your local roads require it, however the weight, wheelbase and damping of the G90 soak up bumps and potholes well with Cobra lowering springs fitted.

Thank you. What are the typical labor charges for replacing springs? Since labor charges can vary, perhaps customary time is a better number.

Im still no fan of the new m5's but, at least this is better. Especially on the rear. Makes its butt stick up in the air less

Agreed! Doing some mods on my M550 and this one just doesn’t seem to be worth it. I’d like to see a dollar cost as well. I’m certain it’s in the many thousands as you said. And for a very modest outcome.

We have a carbon rear spoiler for the G99 M5 in development.

Why?

Are you guys aware that you will not be able to wash the undercarriage properly, hence in long term you will actually damage the body...?

That might be a stretch. Is it more difficult to wash? Sure, but not by much. I also live someone that doesn’t really get snow, so there is no salt on roads. But I do have a pretty large electric pressure washer that makes washing the car off pretty easy.
