New to BMW. 2013 335i 99k miles.
I bought a used BMW. I have went through it and changed plugs, gaskets, belts, trans oil, cleaned vanos, charge pipe, and put a Bm3 tune.
I'm looking for a reasonable price suspension upgrade. Any recommendations? Also is there anything else I should keep an eye on with this many miles. Car rips pretty well after the tune. |

I haven’t heard great things about the ride quality of the BC coil overs.
If this is a DD and you don’t care about adjustable damping/ride height consider the BMW M Performance suspension. The dampers and springs are right in your target price point from getbmwparts.com. It’s a 20mm drop from base suspension (10mm from m-sport), and the springs are tuned correctly to the dampers, and maintains Flat Ride (which most aftermarket kits do not). It also suggests using the m-sport sway bars, and you’ll probably want to upgrade that as well with any suspension, if you are on base level suspension. I’m building my car as a DD/SCCA autocross STU and I’m pretty much convinced this is the best option unless you spend over 2k+ |

I have the same car. Great combination is Koni Special Actives with mild Eibach springs that lower <1".

Another vote here for the M-performance suspension.
I got it from bmwpartspros for about $1k. You have to use the dropdown to add springs. If you select the option w/o M Suspension, then you'll also get the beefier sway bars. |
