Xdrive suspension thread

ska///235i · 03-17-2015, 02:58 PM

Can we get a list of suspensions that are available for the xdrive?

Im only seeing H&R springs

I have installed bilstein B8 + h&r sway bars + eibach pro kit on my 2014 335i xDrive! Search eibach, bilstein and h&r catalogues. They have all you need for xDrive f30

I have the Dinan Springs with ride enhancement kit and a front tower strut brace. Pretty inexpensive as this all cost about $450 + install. Looking to getting HR sway bars soon as well.

I would say no just seeing the EIBACH catalog has different part numbers for the front parts.

KW has almost all their coilover variants available for xDrive models.

Installed the dinan springs at a local shop. So far I like the feel & no rubbing.

How is the ride? Is it bouncy? Is f32 xdrive same lowering as f30?

Thanks!

mdavis12 · 04-25-2015, 02:06 PM

my impressions so far i that it feels more firmer, more grounded. The floatiness is no longer there. the car leans a lot less when cornering, and it is no longer bouncy.

However when going over bumps and stuff, the stock suspensions are more comfortable. But not enough for me to prefer stock. Overall, there is noticeable improvement in the way the car feels, and an even bigger one when it comes to how the car looks.

I am not sure about the F32.

My sentiments exactly. Are you noticing the suspension bottoming out more now? I have to be really careful now, otherwise the I get a really unpleasant bump.

+ 1 to the Dinan springs. Great drop without slamming the car to non-functional status. It actually gives a noticeable improvement to handling and took away the sloppy feel of the stock suspension.
