Do you have part #BMSMU00S1?

I believe part #BMSMP00OH was the first option for the F30, but was not compatible with x drive. Now, per ECS and Turner websites, this part number is compatible with x drive.
Ohlins also changed the spring rates. The old part was like 340 lb front springs and 900 lb rear springs. The new xdrive compatible ones are 450 lb front and 800 lb rear springs.

Some people complained the rear was to stiff. I have a set of the original and before even installing I swapped to 375 lb fronts and 750 lb rears. For street it's feels like stock just more control but I've taken it the track a few times and it's a bit soft. I might swap in the original 900 lb rears and order a set of 450 lb fronts. I think Ohlins got it just right this time around.
