Following the "my car leans to the right" thread here's a 540i xDrive G31 we had in this morning for suspension lowering. 5 series Touring models have self-leveling rear suspension so there an opportunity to do a bit of fine tuning, using threaded adjuster rods that go to the ride height sensors.

Arch gap, measured from the top of the wheel rim to the arch vertically to the nearest 5mm.

Before
OSF 115mm
NSF 120mm
OSR 105mm
NSR 110mm.

After
OSF 85mm
NSF 85mm
OSR 85mm
NSR 85mm.

....and that rear badge !!

That looks loads better. What are you charging for doing this Lorcan?

Agreed, I rather like those wheels though.

[Bibbles]

Cool, I may book that in after the summer European road trip.

Agree.. wtf are those silver bits all about

Where are you based? I have a G31 that I'm looking at lowering too. Are those AC Schnitzer?

[Lorcan]

Yes this is an AC Schnitzer lowering kit specifically for the G31. We are the importers for the UK and Ireland, you can order this kit from us online here if you have someone local who can fit it for you:

We're based in Norfolk, so a bit of a drive for you. I have known some BMW dealers in Ireland fit AC Schnitzer suspension on occasions. Murphy & Gunn, Prentice and JKC mostly.

Hi Lorcan,
I have a G31 520d - is it possible to lower the car using these, or similar, parts?

We're not forum sponsors at the moment but I'm sure you know where to find me by now
