Back to suspension talk - I spoke to Jerry at NM Engineering and their F56 has DDC and has been running the NM lowering springs for over 20,000 miles without issue. He is confident that the springs won't cause any issues with the DDC. I plan on getting a set of NM springs, NM rear sway bar and NM rear control arms after I get my 2016 and do a full review on my blog after I have a chance to test them out.

It is Photoshop, however, the car will look like that when I take delivery. Ordered Cooper S with JCW Pro Tuning kit (was going to order factory JCW but I couldn't get the bluetooth exhaust nor Deep Blue Metallic in a JCW and I thought Lapis Luxury Blue was too dark). The JCW front grill is on its way from Germany and the white roof that the car comes with will be painted Chili Red at the dealer before delivery as well as them painting the red brake ducts. I also ordered an extra front chrome grill surround which is getting wrapped piano black next week so it is ready to install when the car comes in when they drop the bumper to put in the JCW grill

It's pretty common although my color scheme is one of a kind. Removal is a a day process. 1500-2000 depending on dip type. I personally love it, protects my paint and it gets crazy attention.

Haven't bottomed out on my nm Springs. And nyc isn't the friendliest when it comes to that.

Of course you have. Bumpstops have an exponential spring rate so it doesn't *feel* like you've reached the end of the stroke. If you're on lowering springs on stock dampers and you've hit any sort of bump, you've used up all your compression travel. Guaranteed.

You can DIY if you can do the math and/or measure the stock stops and damper strokes. Penske's sells bump stops that have published spring rate graphs, and also Fat Cat might be interested in helping as bumpstops are his main business.
