I'm glad the H&R Sport springs and the OE adaptive suspension combo are working well with your ride. Like you said, each E89 is different.

However, and if you're willing to help, I have an annoying clicking noise.

I wouldn't say it's working well, I would say it sucks less than stock.

There is one more modification I made to the passenger side fender liner, but I don't currently have pictures. I will post them the next time I get a chance.

My car is a 2011 6sp 35i that just turned 60,000 miles. Below are my current modifications.

Carbon fiber mirror caps
Carbon fiber rear spoiler
JB4 on map 2
Burger dual cone intake
H&R springs
Apex VS-5RS one piece forged wheels
19x9.5" +35mm offset (with a 3mm spacer) front
19x10.5" +45mm offset Rear
Michelin PS4s tires
265/30R19 front
285/30R19 rear
Camber Settings (Alignment pins removed from the stock top hats)
-1.3 degrees front and -2.5 degrees rear

I had to do some mods on the rear inner fender liners, but the steel fenders are stock and nothing had to be done in the front. There is currently no rubbing fully loaded with 2 grown men in the car or with the steering wheel turned full lock left and right.
Have you driven much on the setup?

The wider the tyres the greater the propensity to tram lining...

Wondered how it was doing?

I'm sure I've done over 1,000 miles on the car with no issues. It may get worse as the tires get worn, but right now no issues.

I ran an autocross last weekend and had no rubbing issues.
