MMX Lowering Springs – BMW G82 M4 & G87 M2
Improve the stance and handling of your BMW G82 M4 or G87 M2 with MMX Performance Lowering Springs.
Developed specifically for the latest-generation BMW M platform, the MMX spring kit lowers the vehicle's centre of gravity while retaining the factory dampers, providing a more purposeful stance and sharper chassis response without moving to a complete coilover suspension system.
Carefully selected progressive spring rates are designed to improve handling while maintaining the ride quality required for road use, making these springs a strong option for daily-driven, fast-road and enthusiast-owned M cars.
Why Choose MMX Lowering Springs?
The factory G82 M4 and G87 M2 offer extremely capable chassis setups, but the standard ride height leaves noticeable wheel arch clearance and a relatively conservative stance.
MMX lowering springs reduce that ride height while retaining the original BMW damping system.
Potential benefits include:
- Lower centre of gravity
- Reduced body roll
- Sharper turn-in
- More direct chassis response
- Reduced wheel arch gap
- More purposeful stance
- Factory damper retention
- Road-friendly progressive spring rates
MMX describes the kit as balancing improved dynamics and appearance without sacrificing ride quality.

BMW G87 M2 Lowering
For the BMW G87 M2, MMX specifies an approximate:
- 30mm front drop
- 30mm rear drop
This produces a substantial visual improvement while maintaining a balanced front-to-rear stance.
The reduction in ride height also lowers the vehicle's centre of gravity, helping the chassis feel more direct during changes of direction and harder cornering.
BMW G82 M4 RWD Lowering
For rear-wheel-drive G82 M4 and M4 Competition models, MMX specifies approximately:
- 30mm front lowering
- 30mm rear lowering
This provides an even reduction across both axles, helping remove the factory wheel arch gap and creating a more level overall stance.
BMW G82 M4 xDrive Lowering
For xDrive G82 M4 applications, MMX specifies approximately:
- 25mm front lowering
- 20mm rear lowering
The xDrive version uses application-specific spring tuning and lowering figures rather than simply sharing the RWD setup.
Please select the correct version for your vehicle when ordering.
Progressive Spring Rates
MMX uses progressive spring rates developed specifically around the G8X chassis.
A progressive spring does not operate at one fixed rate throughout its full travel.
During normal driving, the initial portion of the spring can retain greater compliance.
As suspension load increases through harder cornering, braking or compression, the spring rate progressively increases to provide greater control.
This approach allows MMX to target improved handling without turning the car into an unnecessarily harsh road setup.
Improved Handling
Lowering the vehicle reduces its centre of gravity, which can help reduce the amount of body movement generated during cornering.
MMX describes the resulting chassis response as lighter, more direct and sharper on turn-in.
Potential handling improvements include:
- Reduced body roll
- Sharper steering response
- More direct turn-in
- Improved chassis confidence
- More controlled weight transfer
For road and fast-road use, these changes can make the M2 or M4 feel more responsive without replacing the factory dampers.
Improved Stance
The visual improvement is one of the main reasons many G8X owners choose lowering springs.
Reducing the factory wheel arch gap gives the G82 M4 and G87 M2 a more purposeful stance while retaining an OEM-style suspension layout.
MMX also designed the springs to reduce the factory rake and create a more balanced appearance between the front and rear of the vehicle.
Retains the Factory Dampers
Unlike coilovers, the MMX Lowering Spring Kit retains the original BMW dampers.
This makes the upgrade ideal for owners who are happy with the factory damping characteristics but want:
- A lower ride height
- Improved stance
- Sharper handling
- Reduced body movement
- Minimal suspension complexity
Where factory adaptive damping is fitted, retaining the original dampers also means the OEM damper hardware remains in place.
MMX Lowering Springs vs Height Adjustable Springs
The MMX fixed lowering springs provide a predetermined ride-height reduction.
This makes them a simple option for owners who want a proven drop without needing to adjust the height after installation.
The MMX Height Adjustable Spring Kit offers a wider adjustment range and allows the front and rear ride heights to be fine-tuned individually.
Choose MMX Lowering Springs if you want:
- Simpler installation
- Fixed ride height
- Lower purchase cost
- Factory damper retention
- Proven road-focused setup
Choose MMX Height Adjustable Springs if ride-height customisation is a priority.
MMX Lowering Springs vs Coilovers
A complete coilover system replaces the dampers as well as the springs and can provide much more suspension adjustment.
However, that extra flexibility isn't necessary for every vehicle.
MMX lowering springs are particularly well suited to owners who want:
- Improved stance
- Better road handling
- Factory damper retention
- Lower cost than coilovers
- Less setup complexity
For predominantly road and fast-road use, they provide a straightforward suspension upgrade without moving to a fully adjustable system.
Designed Around the Factory Dampers
Spring rate and damper tuning need to work together.
MMX specifically warns against going excessively low or overly stiff while retaining the factory dampers, as mismatched spring rates and reduced suspension travel can result in poor ride quality and uncontrolled movement.
The MMX springs are therefore developed around the characteristics and available travel of the original BMW suspension.
Ideal for Road & Fast-Road Builds
The MMX Lowering Spring Kit is particularly suited to:
- Daily-driven G87 M2 models
- BMW G82 M4 road cars
- Fast-road builds
- Weekend performance cars
- Cars with upgraded wheels and tyres
- Owners wanting improved stance
- Cars retaining factory dampers
- Mild track-day builds
For dedicated track use where damping, ride height and geometry need significantly greater adjustment, a full coilover system may be more appropriate.
Wheel & Tyre Fitment
Lowering reduces the available clearance between the tyre, wheel arch and surrounding suspension components.
Compatibility can therefore depend on:
- Wheel width
- Wheel offset
- Tyre width
- Tyre profile
- Spacer use
- Alignment settings
Cars using aggressive wheel fitments should have clearance checked after installation.
Professional Installation & Alignment
Professional installation is recommended.
After fitting lowering springs, the vehicle should receive a four-wheel alignment.
Lowering can alter:
- Camber
- Toe
- Steering geometry
- Tyre contact characteristics
Correct alignment helps maintain predictable handling and minimise irregular tyre wear.
Compatibility
Suitable for applicable:
- BMW G87 M2 – 2023+
- BMW G82 M4
- BMW G82 M4 Competition
- BMW G82 M4 RWD
- BMW G82 M4 xDrive
