Pic Request 19" Wheels on Stock 328/335 M Sport Suspension (not lowered)

fredsf30 · 08-16-2018, 04:28 PM

Hey guys, back after a two year long hiatus while owning a 2016 Mustang.

Now have a 328 X Drive with the M Sport package (but stock suspension).

Would love to see pictures of those who have 19" wheels that have not lowered their suspension.

Great looking car! This is a wagon (obviously) but it is on stock suspension.

Also, are you in Plymouth? I feel like I recognize the area - I grew up there (but no longer live there).

fredsf30 · 08-16-2018, 05:35 PM

I am in Stillwater and thank you for the picture!

Rear-wheel drive cars are lower than XDrive.
I have a car on wheels 19" not yet lowered

Lower that ASAP. The rear gap is huge.

I have this intention, I still have to remodel the steep driveway to the garage.
The height of the BMW XDrive is some mistake.

Did you have 500 lbs of gravel in your trunk? The front gap looks huge and the rear gap looks tiny.

Buzzo, thank you for posting this. I am thinking this is the direction I want to go. When you have time, would you be able to snap or post a few more pictures of the side angle with your 19" set up? Thanks again!

335i on 19's vs the 328i on 18's. Both with stock height M-Sport suspensions.

Both are RWD cars. I have a few e30 (too many) iXes floating around when I feel the need for AWD.

I'm still in vacation mode and so perhaps a little weighed down in the back, but snapped a quick couple today:

Why do the AWD Beemers have such a large wheel well gap while the Audi AWD does not?

chiefneil · 08-28-2018, 10:10 AM

IIRC RWD sport suspension runs about 20mm lower than AWD, so m-sport RWD pics aren’t going to be representative of wheel gap vs an xDrive.

BMW views AWD as a “utility” vs “performance” choice, so they raise the suspension to provide better snow clearance. Although even with that rationale, them not giving an actual sport suspension when AWD customers think they’re getting one is deceitful.
