Lifting a 328d xDrive

Hey all,

I'm looking at picking up a 328d xDrive wagon, and am curious if there are any good options to lift them so I can shove bigger tires underneath.

I live out in the American West and will be using it to pull a snowmobile, haul bikes, skis etc, and the ground clearance isn't confidence inspiring as is. I used to have a VW Jetta Wagon that was lifted 2" which was perfect.

Thanks!

Larger spring spacers/boosters would probably do the trick. You wouldn't need much at the spring to have a larger effect at the wheel. https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/60828/10002/-1

That's the backup plan. Curious if any company was making taller suspension setups though, or if there was a weird solution. For my Jetta, I was able to just swap stock Tiguan springs and that did the trick.

Hey Troy - did you end up finding or making a solution for this?

Nah I ended up buying a Q5 TDI instead, was a great rig. Sold it a month or so back and got a Ram 1500 EcoDiesel -- I got bit by the snowmobiling bug, while trailers are fine, not-trailers are better
