Side question, how difficult do you guys think it would be to install springs/shocks (no sway bars) yourself? There's an excellent video from ECS on how to do this on E90, I imagine F30 can't be too far off.

The sway bars are a bitch in the F30 design.

Hey Guys - need some help here.
Is it confirmed that the Sport Line and M Sport Line already have the sway bars / stabilizers required for the M Performance suspension kit? Here's the email / quote from my service advisor: "Here are some of my tech notes that he pulled off of the repair instructions For cars without M Sports chassis: it is absolutely essential that the stabilisers on the M Sports chassis are retrofitted (for instructions and part number, see EPC)." I can match the price you pulled off of online store – with tax parts are $1736.87 the stabilizers are $575.01 Labor is $2156.00 = $4467.88" |

I have the Sport line, but my understanding was that both Sport and M Sport have the beefier sway bars. I think the 'M Sport Suspension' is a misnomer b/c it shows up in the VIN decoder as well. I checked the VIN decoder here and this is what it says about the suspension: S704A M Sportfahrwerk | M Sports suspension So presumably if one of you w/ an M Sport car checked your VIN, it should say the same thing? Just trying to figure out the best way to prove it to the dealer that I already have the required sway bars. If someone w/ a Sport line who's had the m performance suspension installed could chime in with their experience, that might help too. Otherwise I know I had read some specs about the thickness of the swaybars (13mm vs 12mm (non sport, non m sport) ..something like that. Need to search some more. But any more inputs you guys can provide would be helpful. Thanks! |

I replied saying that's fine, I agree; but let's make sure it's necessary before I consider spending $2000 more than I expected. I asked them if I could drop by so they could look at my car and note down the part #s. Let's see what they say. btw, apologies if I'm hijacking this thread. |

My assumption was that they'd order from getbmwparts as well since they're the ones who pointed me to it. Will need to check w/ them on that once this gets sorted. Good point.

ah i see. well it makes better sense to just order it yourself. this way you get it shipped directly to your place and just need to throw it in your car and go to speed element for install.

If a local shop installs it would it still have the bmw warranty or do we need bmw to install them?

yes, there is no basis for them to void warranty or anything like that.

You can usually get the dealers down to $115-125 an hour depending on how well you know your SA, and then, of course, this works in your warranty favor. Again, if you don't care about it, then go with the cheapest...

Slightly off topic, but for the M Perf LSD, the warranty coverage is only valid if the dealer installs it, and only through the original 4yr/50k miles. (They won't cover the LSD through the optional 6yr/100k mile extended warranty.) Still not a bad deal having 50k mile coverage on an LSD though...
