2013 328i Coil Springs

COSENT27 · 02-11-2025, 12:56 PM

For context, I have a 2013 328 I xdrive m sport without adaptive m suspension n20 engine.

About a year and a half ago, I replaced my front suspension with new struts and mounts. In the process using a rental spring compressor from autozone, I bent one of the springs. So I ordered new springs and struts installed at the same time from fcp euro and again I'm having suspension issues front and back. Ever since I installed the new springs and struts the car has felt softer, even though I bought from fcp euro oem sachs struts and Lesjofors springs.

I'm wondering if maybe the springs that I ordered were incorrect bc I have the m sport without adaptive suspension? Are the springs different for m sport non adaptive vs others?

Yes I did input my vehicle information before purchasing from fcp euro and all the parts were verified to fit. I also replaced the steering rack bushing about 6 months ago just FYI.

My ride is really bad now, loose and clunks and rattles over every bump. I know I didn't replace the rear suspension at the time and that needs to be done now, but don't understand why my front is so bad.

Last time my front suspension went bad I took it to a bmw specialist and they said they couldn't diagnose the problem without disassembling which was far more expensive than just replacing the front struts myself. So I did the repair myself.

I can't get the car up because it has been snowing and freezing cold this entire winter.

Appreciate your thoughts and any help out there.

Check realoem. They will list which springs are for your car. They might be all the same, I have no idea, but realoem will list the options.

Realoem doesn't have the spring part # for my vehicle oddly enough. I checked that before posting
