Ok, so then you won't need the ARB's, will save you $200 in parts.

If you're on a stock suspension, yes, you'll need them - that's what the parts guy told me (and it's listed on other sites too that sell the suspension).

Ok , I found: http://www.bmwpartspros.com/partloca...subcat3=193424
BMW M Performance suspension kit With the M Performance suspension, your BMW 3 Series experience becomes even more unique. The shock absorbers have been extensively tested and coordinated using strict motorsport criteria. The result is even more dynamic driving that will amaze on every straight and every corner. (For vehicles without M Sport Package & M Sport Suspension, options 337A & 704A, front and rear stabilizer bars, oem part#'s 33556853474 & 31356792125, are required for installation.) Waiting to hear confirmation from BMW Canada before I buy more parts. They insisted previously that I wouldn't need anything else. |

However I also called Steve Thomas BMW (their affiliate dealer), and the parts guy there said he thinks I might need springs as well. You're right. There is no way the stock springs will work with different ARBs, struts, etc. Unless there is some German magic Perhaps BMW is making an assumption that it's being installed on Sport suspension? It really shouldn't be this hard. Keep me posted please. I've also got my contact at BMW Canada looking into it. |

Honestly... I'm pretty pissed @ BMW. It's not hard to be clear what is needed or not. Especially when the kit is for a single friggin' model. |

I just dropped the F30 off, verified with the parts guy and the SA, I paid $1393 for all parts, here's the breakdown: 33-50-2-320-981 SUSP KIT - $1115.00 (lowest I could get them, compared to BMW partspro, which was my negotiator tool!) 33-55-6-853-47 STAB - $121.46 31-35-6-792-125 STAB - $157.36 (I guess I remembered incorrectly with the prices here). Those are the part #'s from the catalog, verify with your parts guy...and if you paid substantially less than me, than, maybe they separated out the kit? If you paid about what I paid, then I'm flippin' confused, because BOTH the parts guy AND the SA verified the Springs are on the Struts. (unless they lied to me...) I'll find out, because the springs are red or yellow, right? Shiv

no springs on the struts that's all that is in the kit. I've also verified with my friend who works for BMW Corporate that springs are not listed in the parts. He's verifying further tomorrow as well. I would triple check with your dealer. have him send you pics of the box. I'm not sure springs would even fit in the box the way the struts are packed together. Last edited by bananachipz; 11-14-2012 at 05:26 PM.. |
