Hoping for a bit of advice - reading the thread I'm a bit confused on the options between RWD Pro Kit and xdrive version... I'm planning on putting these on a '17 340i xdrive with adaptive suspension. I'm hoping to keep the adaptive shocks and simply lower the car for aesthetics.... Whats the suggested version for Pro Kit?

Some guys who are fixated with a bigger drop will put the Eibach RWD spring set on their xDrive. I'm not a fan of doing that, but to each his own. If you have stock 225/45-18 runflats, you can improve handling and get rid of some of the tire/fender gap by upgrading to 245/45-18. Summer Michelin Pilot Sport 4S are amazing tires. For all season tires I'd go with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 |

06-22 is 1095KG spring ( one extra coil and, tiny bit higher) 05-22 is listed under 330xd if you look it up in eibach catalogue. |

I got the Eibach and Koni yellows installed and WOW! Not too harsh, but perfect in my opinion. If I were driving hundreds of miles per day I might want the Koni SAs over the yellows, but right now I love the yellows. It is definitely harder than stock, but still comfortable. It handles like its on rails.
Now, I am getting some rattling noise from the new setup in the front. I am going to call the installer but thought I would post here to see what it might be. |

I believe that the Koni Yellows have 10 adjustable comfort settings. Just curious where you have them set? Good to take it right back. Mechanics get lazy and cocky that they know how to judge without using a torque wrench. I just had my car in for maintenance stuff and they found three different loose bolts. Everyone was a bolt last touched by a supposedly excellent mechanic who I'm guessing was too good to use a torque wrench |

I need help... Reading a few threads...there seems to be two choices for a 440ix GC. 05-22 and 06-22. With 05-22 being slightly lower. I was just at the Eibach site and it is suggesting 04-22...isn't that for a 4 cylinder and not a 6 cylinder? Link is above. Looking to pull the trigger... Thanks. |

Eibach Springs for 440i GC xDrive
Quote:
The Eibach -05 part number is not widely available in US, but Tunershop has it. Note that Tunershop website had the wrong drops listed. Not sure if they corrected that yet. The drops on my photo are correct. Bump stops from F80 M3 would work better than stock bump stops. (Thanks FaRKle!) See photo for part numbers |

Thanks again Johnung,
Can you confirm the correct front F80 M3 bump stop product #. You indicated Product ID 31-33-6-857-729 in your above post. However, I also see in other threads the use of Product ID 31-33-6-859-768 I just want to ensure I'm ordering the correct bump stop parts. Thanks again for all your insight. And yes I did order the 05-22 as you suggested. s |

Thanks John...appreciate the time and effort.
Sorry for giving you work to do... I will also try to find out. From Realoem, it seems the 31-33-6-857-729 are stock bumps for a F36 Gran Coupé LCI 440iX. |

It looks like I previously gave you bump stops from a non-US M3. See photo for bump stops for US M3. |
