I went to my
Local Sytner Harold wood enquired about ACS springs, supplied & fitted they checked on the system they turned around and said they don't sell them...
Strange I know lots of forum Menmbers got it supplied and fitted by BMW..

[Sheepy]

Might be worth quoting what model you drive as I’m sure they will be model specific and maybe you’re unlucky and they don’t do them for yours or another possibility is that the dealer you spoke to doesn’t know what they are talking about or they are not a supplier of ACS parts

I thought all BMW dealers are ACS stockist, I'm guessing not now...

Not all BMW dealers stock ACS springs and some are frankly a bit clueless about them as well!

My local dealer used to be down as an authorised supplier and fitter on the ACS website but disappeared off the list a year or so back. That notwithstanding, on a recent visit I enquired at the service desk whether they'd still be prepared to fit a set and the chap (youth) I was speaking to told me they wouldn't and that was because the change in ride height would damage the X-Drive system! I was about to launch into how come the dealership used to be an official supplier, how come other BMW dealers in the same Group still fit them, etc, but decided not to waste my breath....

Rossiters are the UK supplier. Speak to Lorcan on here.

He’s the guy at Rossiters who deals with supplying ACS goodies.

You’re far better off buying direct from him as Sytner’s will from experience add on a substantial mark up on his price to obtain the same kit direct from Lorcan.

There’s also a list of approved fitters on their website.

As my car is on pcp if I get these springs fitted from somewhere else instead Bmw main dealer is that a problem..?

Had mine ordered and fitted by Sandal BMW Wakefield about 4 months ago so BMW dealers definitely do supply/fit.

I don't understand then how come Sytner Harold Wood...
Dont know anything about it..

It doesn't surprise me at all tbh, some BMW dealerships product knowledge is pitiful at times........definitely a case of computer says no!!

I was trying to buy a nearly new 440i GC recently and the salesman didn't know what an MPPSK is.
When I told him that it's a MPerformance Power & Sound Kit he said "Strange that they offer a power kit and upgraded stereo in the same kit".

No it's not an issue. One of the reasons people opt for ACS is because they come with their own warranty. So if BMW ever blamed your spring for say your shock absorber failing then they would have a tough time wiggling out of a warranty claim. Where as if you went for H and R coil overs for example, you wouldn't have a chance of a successful claim.
