2 questions:
1) Will the M Performance Suspension fit the 335xi base suspension?
2) If I purchase the kit from getbmwparts.com and have the dealer install it...is it still all warrantied?

Thanks in advance.

Go the answer to 1)

"unfortunately, the BMW M Performance Suspension is not compatible with xDrive models."

Regarding #2, yes, getbmwparts is a BMW dealer in Maryland I believe, so you can ship it to your dealer...just make your local dealer match and shame them with the pricing from getbmwparts. I do that ALL THE TIME!

Hey guys, does this suspension fit on the 340i? I ordered one with the adaptive m-sport suspension. Also, can this be added to my order and installed at the port to avoid installation costs? Thanks

Why add this if you have an adaptive suspension?
This is a static suspension.

I'm looking into replacing my 704 Sports Suspension since it's at 74k miles.

I'm planning on purchasing the BMW M Performance Suspension kit from getBMWparts.

I looked up the kit in BMW ETK for a breakdown of the include parts. I was hoping those who have purchased this kit can confirm this breakdown.

Ahh - this thread takes me back to my noob days...

Unless things have changed, this kit does not include springs so you will need to order the specific set required based on your VIN. From my own experience, they offer different spring rates for the F30 depending on vehicle options due to weight differences. You are going to love these. It was my absolutely favorite mod on my previous F30. Completely transforms the car.

getBMWparts sells the kit with springs.

I did remember reading about a bunch of people having issues with not receiving springs as part of the package in the past.

It looks like BMW drastically reduced the price of the kits (minus the springs). Unless I'm mistaken, part 33502320981 can be purchased online for about $650. Add the springs on top and the total should be about $1250.

I'm definitely missing something. Where are you seeing it listed for this pricepoint?

I just put in an order at a local dealership for kit+springs+install+alignment for <$1500.

1076 USD shipped to my house with springs. That and the 1100 dollar M perf LSD have transformed the car for NOT a lot of money

I already upgraded my suspension for about $1100 last year. Best mod I've done so far.

Where did you find a $1100 M Perf LSD? I was toying with the idea of getting one but couldn't find one for less than $2000.

The 33502409928 part is for 2015+ cars with the revised suspension mounting and the 33502320981 part is for 2012-2014 cars. I have a 2014 and I installed 33502320981.

Note that you still have to order springs with those.

According to two references here, my front and rear spring part numbers should be: 31336860629 and 33536860620 respectively.

1) Post from jamesems on 11-20-2012, 8:02pm:
OK, so you'd need different springs. The part numbers you'd need for the front springs is 31336860629 x 2, for manual transmission, 31336860630 x 2, for automatic transmission, and for the rear springs (for both auto and manual trans) is 33536860620 x 2. The springs are $92.40 each.

2) Post from ronin951 on 03-02-2013, 10:31pm:
I looked up the spring codes and they are as follows:

Front springs:
335i 6MT - 31336860629
335i Auto - 31336860630
328i Both - 31336860628

Rear springs:
All - 33536860620

http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?p=14394765
However, when I logged on BMW's electronics parts catalog with my VIN, and looked up the Spring Table with the M Performance Suspension kit, the numbers I got are:

Front Coil Spring: 31336860630
Rear Coil Spring: 33536860621

QUESTIONS:
- Does any know what the correct part numbers for the springs are??
- Are there any 335i RWD 6MT owners with this setup and what part numbers are you using??

Thank you.

- Stabilizer bars seem correct: 31-35-6-792-125 and 33-55-6-853-474

However, when it comes to the coils I am not sure:
- Rear 33-53-6-860-620 seems in line with what others posted.

But the front coil part number my dealer mentioned is 31-33-6-860-629. Is this correct? Some other posts mention this as the one for 335i Manual, but I am not sure how to validate. Mine is the auto 328i.
EDIT: This is correct according ronin's post on page 14..

Does that sound right?

M Performance Springs (Front): 31 33 6 860 629
M Performance Springs (Rear): 33 53 6 860 621


I got the springs numbers from my ETK (see attachment). Should I trust that these are right? I only have doubts because I think I saw someone else with a 328i auto with a different number for the rear (he had ...620).

BTW awesome thread peeps... have learned heaps.


I am dealing with same problem.

31336860628 or 31336860629 for fronts?
33536860620 or 33536860621 for rear?

I have read all 30 pages and other smaller threads about MPS but still could not figure it out. I have 328i 2012 with non sport suspension. The only clue i have, 629 is for heavier vehicles. This was written in a russian forum. Here people tell, 629 is for 335i manuel. Any help will be much appriciated.
