M-Sport F30 335i Gets Bilstein Coilovers
This beautiful Alpine White M-Sport 335i is a perfect example of an OEM+ styled car. Retaining a factory-like look, this F30 features a list of subtle modifications that work together to give the car a sportier, more aggressive look. Bilstein PSS10 coilovers give this 335i it's dialed-in lowered ride height, while Macht Schnell wheel spacers give a wide stance. BMW Performance parts include an exhaust system with M logo tips, a carbon fiber rear spoiler and carbon fiber mirror caps. IND painted kidney grilles and painted reflectors give this M-Sport its finishing touches.

I would also like to get a quote on these coil overs and spacers for my 2013 335i. You can respond here or pm me. Does the ride quality change at all?

Overall, it is definitely a more stiff ride than stock which is to be expected. I'm happy it still rides comfortably with much better handling. I could turn them down to a softer setting and it would probably feel like stock but then I would sacrifice handling. I've had cars on springs/stock dampeners, coilovers slammed on their lowest setting, and a 350z track with the stiffer suspension out of the factory. At the current setting, it feels a lot like my 350z stock. If you are just going for looks I would probably just go with H&R Sport Springs. For handling and the ability to adjust height and dampening these are great. I actually track my car so it's nice to have the adjustability for street -> track and to be able to dial in comfort for daily driving. I bought a higher end coilover for a reason, I figured since I am paying a decent amount for the car to begin with, anything I added needed to fit accordingly.

Next time you go track your car, would you mind letting me know so i may tag along ?
Thanks for the useful Info! Are you saying the H&R are more confortable as DD while giving the look?

Looks great. I was on the fence with those 19's and ended up sticking with the 18's on mine, may change eventually to M5 reps or something.. But those 19's seem to look the best on white, especially with your ride height.
Pardon my ignorance here, but how easy is it to adjust the coil overs afterwards? I have heard the only reason not to do this on an x-drive car is that the suspension will wear out faster due to the angle with x-drive. Can anyone confirm that, or what the negatives are? I don't really buy BMW's excuse about ride height for better ground clearance in the snow. |

LOL... as much as I like slammed cars, I had to move on from that and have a more daily drivable and functional car. At this height, its perfect for track and DD. I've had cars that you could barely fit your hand under the front lip and it gets old fast.
From what I've seen and heard the H&R Sport are pretty comfortable and give a nice mild stance. Moving into Super Sport its a bit more stiff and is going to be bumpier since the dampeners are not designed for that ride height. There are a couple SoCal guys running Super Sport that seem to like them. Hopefully running Spring Mountain in Dec, that will most likely be the next time I hit the track. Typically they don't allow passengers for my skill level (I usually run in beginner groups for now).
