And b4 anyone asks, did start with a 335i but Riaz was being a real pain with his discounts so had to "settle" for the 328i. Diesel a non starter as didn't want to incur the wrath of Nick the Greek :-)
Ah i see, sorry i was on the iphone app.

The 328i should corner slightly flatter than your 325d, but most likely not noticeably. I say if you don't have a problem with the body roll then leave it, but for me the body roll was ruining an otherwise great car.

Hi there

Sorry if this has already been asked, but I'm interested in having the ACS springs installed on my 328i modern. I'm in the Stockport area and wondered if anyone could recommend a garage. My local dealer is Williams but they do not appear on the ACS site.

Thanks in advance.

You can ask at Williams but probably Chris Jackson in Alderley Edge is going to be your best bet.

Thank you for that. It will be a few weeks before I can drive due to an operation, but will look into sorting after that.

Has anyone used JKC in Northern Ireland for the supply and fit of these into an F31 Touring? If so how much?

Stockport, you should consider Darren Wood in Bredbury.

Haven't used them myself but they definitely do fit them. Was chatting to Ryan there who told me that one on the other guys the the dealership has the springs fitted to his 4 series. Keep meaning to drop in for a test run.

The car I test drove was a JKC salesmen's 330d xDrive with the ACS springs fitted and it was a great job. I sent Ryan an e-mail today as he's the one I was dealing with when I ordered my car a couple of days ago so I'll see what he comes back with.

I might just have to drop in and try that out actually. Keep me posted on what they're offering for your F31 - are you going x or sdrive?

Does £700 to supply and fit the springs and black grills sound reasonable?

The dealer is now saying they aren't sure if I can have the ACS springs with the adaptive suspension on the 330d xDrive touring, can anybody clarify this for me?

Cheers, they said they were going to check too. They have quoted me £600 to supply and fit which I thought was fair.

Yes that's fair assuming that includes an alignment check too.

Do you have a contact in JKC that would be best to speak to? I have only been speaking to the salesman I bought my car from.
