What's up everyone, just got my 435i xDrive Gran Coupe the other day. I got every option possible including the M adaptive suspension ... Does that make the car sit higher than the others ... Not sure if I like it or the suspension needs some time to settle in ... The car has 50 miles on the clock.

I think something is very wrong, ask your dealer to check to see if the shipping blocks are still in your suspension.

X Drive always sits higher than the standard i. Although that looks pretty high up.

Does anyone have pictures of what they should look like? I peeked into the rear suspension and I can see the strut rubber bumpstop, no plastic spacer. I cannot see the front all the way to be able to tell if there is anything in there.

Earlier in this thread you'll see many examples of DHP cars, some XDrive, some RWD. There are also a few photos of an Alpine White Gran Coupe in the yard with its shipping blocks still on that looks suspiciously like yours (photo above). I'm telling you, your shipping blocks were mistakenly left on the car. Cruise by BMW after the big storm, they'll remove them for you and apologize. |

Enjoyed today's unusually warm January weather and decided to take advantage of it...

I know this is a photo thread but.........
I have been trying to get the proper location to jack up the front and rear center of car to put it on jack stands.
Anyone have a location to place the jack. Need to put the car on jack stands. Is it the rear point the rear diff or the cross brace location? Also front of car is covered with a sheet of material so locating the spot is difficult. |

Put the car up on Rhino Ramps today and found the oil drain plug. Just forward of that there is a steel cross member that I am thinking is the front-center jack point. Would love confirmation before giving it a whirl.
Think the rear point is either the diff or the rear cross brace mounting point. Again would love confirmation before boosting it up. I bought my car off the lot and unfortunately it didn't have M-Sport brakes. I bought G2 caliper paint in Estroil blue and want to paint them up before they get too crappy. |

Finally getting around to posting pics of my 435gc. First mods will be IND painted front and rear reflectors, spacers, and a change-out of the grille (I'm thinking the M4 style grille at the moment).

Thanks! I'm just talking the wheel spacers to push the wheels out - likely go with the 10mm front / 15mm rear setup.
I need to read up on how to code to take care of some of the announces I have, but that'll have to wait a bit. Otherwise, I absolutely love the car! |
