'13 F30 Xdrive springs--H&R Now available!
I know the xdrives are still new and it takes industry a bit to catch up, but any word out there on H&R, etc springs and/or coilovers for the xdrive?

The Coilovers may take a little longer but I'd expect KW to have them out within the year. |

Aren't there concerns about drive train angles? From what I hear this is the main reason BMW doesn't lower xDrive cars with sport packages to begin with.

Thanks Rich
Awesome, thanks for the info! I had heard this also about the drivetrain angle, but I would need some proof. Hopefully, if springs/coilovers are R&D'd specifically for the xdrive, any issues will found out and reported. I'm definitely interested to find out.

H&R spring, xdrive

Saw that you guys have a great price on the non-xdrive f30 HR springs. When you have the xdrive version in stock would you be so kind as to let us know? 'Preciate it! |

Is there an ETA from H&R?
Also, can you use the stock sport non-xDrive springs on an xDrive 335? I've seen folks with e9x's do this on their xDrive's. I'm looking for a very mild drop. |

I'm also curious about development here. I wouldn't mind a slightly more aggressive spring with a minor drop. I'm concerned about half-shaft angles, so nothing too radical.

I've considered this myself...really hope H&R or Eibach get on this soon...been scoping out summer wheels but the drop will hopefully come first.

Springs xDrive
Feedback from Switzerland or Swiss retailers respectively:
-FW should be on the market for xDrive within 3 or 4 weeks -Bilstein said that they need between 2 and 4 month to be ready I have a 335i xDrive (12/12) with the M-package. My opinion: the suspension of this car is rubbish. It is shaking and rumbling and therefore I hate it. I am looking forward to change it against a system from KW! |

KW suspension
Had the same problem with my E91 (330xd). The OEM suspension was everything but sporty. The KW coilover set changed it a lot.
But BMW makes the same with F31. If you order an xDrive version with M package, you pay the same price as for the RWD, but you don´t get the lowered M sport suspension. As if the xDrive version didn´t need a proper suspension. Quote:

M Sport suspension
Do any of you guys know how the 10mm drop in the MSport RWD is accomplished? Different springs? If so, I wonder if someone has swapped their x drive Msport spring for the RWD Msport ones? I've used the search engine but couldn't find an answer to this particular question. I apologize in advance for any redundancy.

Thanks. Please keep me updated on your research. Do you happen to know how the slight drop on the M sport RWD was accomplished?
