Hi, I'm looking to buy suspension for my F30, I have a 2014 328i XDrive Sedan, N20, can someone tell me what my suspension bolts are? I have the option between 3bolt top mount or 5bolt top mount. Where can i find this information?

have you considered opening your hood and looking at where the struts are mounted to?

Correct. 2014 models have 3 bolts. Technically the 5 bolts were added for the 2016 LCI model, but in reality BMW made the change somewhere midway through the 2015 model year.

What suspension components are you considering and why?

Thank you!
No I have not. Looking at suspension last night. Thought it would be easier to ask here than go out there at 12am to look lol.

going low on an x-drive is a bad idea as it puts lots of stress on the front axles and many have had problems or failures from it. also, imo BC is a marginal brand for coilovers, KW and Bilstein have better products. on the street, KW will have a more compliant ride than Bilstein and is what i'd recommend.

i suggest KW V1 set to a height which will put the least amount of stress on the front axles but still look acceptable to you.
