I was surprised when you said stiffer but if you changed springs that would explain
I have KW V3, so front/rear spring rates are definitely stiffer than standard M Sport springs. However, F90 has much stiffer front/rear anti-roll bars and also stiffer rubber bushings, so that adds to the stiffness on the front and rear axles. I wouldn't say it's too stiff or anything, but the car definitely rides much more firm and you can feel the road a lot more vs running KW V3 with G30 suspension.

Thanks !
Right now, I have my V3 set to the factory default settings from KW plus one click (stiffen) on both rebound and compression. It seems to work for me. It is definitely somewhat bouncy on rough pavement, but it's nothing crazy in my mind. However, I do prefer a harsher and more sporty/connected ride. I think if you find yours too bouncy, I would do factory default settings minus one or two clicks (slacken) on both rebound and compression and see how that works.
