The BMW M240i xDrive can go on a serious diet without touching a single suspension component — just springs, and the coupe sits noticeably lower. H&R has built a kit for the facelifted G42 coupe that drops the body by roughly 30 mm at the front and 15 mm at the rear. The recommended price in Germany is 386 euros.
The kit, indexed 28662–8, is designed for cars built from 2025 onward and fits vehicles with M Sport and adaptive suspension too. H&R claims the lower center of gravity should reduce body roll and sharpen steering response. There's just one catch — the manufacturer offers no independent testing of these claims, so the handling promises are best treated as stated tuning effects rather than proven fact.
H&R also offers Trak+ spacers for the M240i, widening the track by 6 mm per axle and up. They start at 81 euros. Both the springs and the spacers carry the type approval required for the German market, though that doesn't automatically mean the modification is legal elsewhere.
The current M240i xDrive is interesting in its own right. BMW quotes a combined 392 hp and 540 Nm of torque. That 392 hp figure covers the entire 48-volt mild-hybrid setup, not just the gasoline inline-six: the three-liter engine makes 381 hp on its own, with the electric motor contributing another 12 hp. The sprint to 100 km/h takes 4.3 seconds.
In Germany, the M240i xDrive itself currently starts at 63,600 euros. Against that backdrop, the H&R kit looks like a comparatively affordable way to change the car's stance without stepping up to a fully adjustable suspension. But along with the sharper look comes less ground clearance — and that's nothing to shrug off.
It was previously reported that BMW is expanding Neue Klasse active safety to the i3, X5, and 7 Series.
