440i Grand Coupe xDrive - Pre-LCI vs LCI suspension
Hey all - looking to upgrade the E90 with an xDrive 440i GC. I was really looking for a 2018+ for the updated suspension and new lights but found a great deal on a 2017 optioned as I wanted. Question is, is there a major difference in the LCI 5 point suspension with stiffened dampers vs the pre-lci suspension, for xDrive models? Did the xDrive models even get the update?
Sorry if this is a redundant question but I’ve been searching the forums and haven’t found a definitive answer. Thanks!! |

F36 suspension differences - Orig v. LCI
N55 v. B58 Both with M Sport EDC, M Brakes, VSS, and both xDrive FRONT Different part numbers for the EDC strut Same bump stops LCI has slightly slimmer sway bar ends Springs (tbd) REAR Different part numbers for the EDC damper Same rear bump stop Same rear sway bar Springs (tbd) Looks like fine-tuning for the different engine, plus some EDC damping tweaks. |

Yes it is. The suspension of the LCI is noticeably improved, according to a number of (professional and amateur) reviews. This is equally valid for xDrive.

Has nothing to do with the engine. There is a wide range of engines available, not just 6 cylinder ones. It is LCI driven.

There is no room for "perhaps" in the above sentence 😉
