Height Adjustable Springs for F32

aantar · 02-18-2018, 08:59 AM

Hello guys,

I was looking for height adjustable springs sleeves over kit for 435i with M adaptive suspension. Surprisingly all options ( KW & M Performance) are offered for M cars only:

M Performance: 33502414216 https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...s/33502414216/

KW: https://www.kwsuspensions.net/produc...le_spring_kits

My question is: Will any of these physically fit on my M adaptive suspension ? If no what is the difference between my adaptive suspension and those on M cars ?

My primary concern is to lower the car without voiding my warranty and going through endless debate with my dealer. But it will also be nice if I can adjust my setup as desired.

Looking at M performance springs they are not offered for M adaptive, although I think they physically fit.. however I couldn't even tell which part numbers fit to my car.

Going to a complete coilover modification is not an option as they are expensive and will void the warranty as well.

Thanks in advance

I was wondering the exact same thing. Hard to believe there are kits available for the F8x and not the F3x.

The spring perch on non-M dampers is welded on. The F8x dampers have a press fit on perch, which is pressed off to install their HAS kits.

I tried to see if I could find some sort of adapter pad to go onto the perch that a threaded tube could go on, but haven't seen anything that's off the shelf.
