I got my f30 335 xdrive a few months ago and definitely looking to fix that wheel gap. I got a local shop to do an inspection on my car and they found that my front struts (EDC) are leaking so I can’t just drop on springs, I need to replace the entire thing so good excuse to upgrade to coilovers. The whole axle thing worries me because I don’t want to be left stranded. I want to go as low as safely possible while still being daily driveable. Also, are there any supporting mods I should also be doing along with the coilovers? End links? Sway bars? Etc…

Reach out to Bryan at kies motorsports and find out what they did with his f30. UT I believe they found the safest thing possible was to go back to near stock ride height and use the stock style control arms.
