H&R springs are stiff, search the forum, some people feel they are too stiff.

With stiffer springs, you risk more wear on other suspension components. So if you have premature wear, BMW can reject a claim due to that, since they have a pretty good idea of life span for different OEM parts.

Imagine hitting a pothole with much stiffer springs, the energy of the impact has to go somewhere and if springs are harder, that energy goes elsewhere in the suspension.
You could be totally fine too, and never have any issues. But if you are worried about it, maybe you should think twice...

I had the dealership install H&R VTF's. Their mechanic is superb, and totally trust him to do it right. On top of that, I would never let anyone else than the dealer tech, work on a vehicle under warranty. (Springs from Ben at RG Sport, great to deal with)

Springs are way stiffer, but I'm used to H&R from previous vehicles, and adjust my driving. Handling is much better, but some friends are of the opinion I made a mistake getting rid of the more comfortable ride.
