Hello all,

My current 316i is on stock suspension. I'm planning to add the M-sport body kit and H&R sports spring kit (in no particular order) as currently car looks like it's on "monster truck" set-up after swapping the rims.

However, the issue I have is the driveway to my house is at an angled slope. The question is, should I proceed with all the proposed mods above, do just the bodykit without the springs or just lower the car on H&R springs without the bodykit?

Thanks.

Pics attached for reference:

You will definitely scrape the underside of the M lip but it's underneath so who cares. Do it, I did the lip and drop on mine and it looks awesome.

Thanks. Dropping it on H&R sports today. Will see how it looks.

Get some scrapes, adjust to the new driving height, get an mperformance splitter

Thats what I did lol

Hi,

Some pics after car wash yesterday. Changed to H&R sport springs and added body coating:





Sorry.. blurry Iphone pics

Next mod: M Performance body kit and new Vossen rims. Any suggestions on the rims?

The drop looks super cool.... I have been thinking abt droping mine as well but I can't make up my mind. First I don't like the look of the car so high, but what I really don't like is that the car doesn't feel planted at all, esspacially on high speeds. Did u feel any difference after the drop or it still feels like driving an old american car with a lot of body roll?

How meny cm/mm does the h&r spor springa lower the car? Are they 30mm or 45mm?

[ezy18]

Ride feels a little firmer, less bouncy. As for body roll, I think it's still there, though I don't tackle the corners aggressively due to the poor road conditions in some areas.

I think the springs dropped about 10mm. Just nice enough to cover the wheel gap at the moment.

I'm thinking of switching to Vossen rims. My thoughts would be on either the CV3s or CV5s. Any recommendations guys?

[Sleepwalker]

Only 10mm? Hmm. Theres is this noe dealer here in norway that sells h&r spring, but they'er not specified with sport or super sport.. Just in 30mm or 45mm.. Want to lower my car too, but dont know what to choose :/

Upgraded with new rims

btw, get rid of that "M" badge.

[ezy18]

The car is looking real nice. But yea, get the M badge off the back.

[Who?]

yeah... m badge on the rear is frowned upon even on a 335i let alone a 316i..

but its your car, so who cares what others think

[rustyminded]

so the H&R for 328i fits this 316i or where did you get it exactly ?
