Ride height and aftermarket wheels

3Series007 · 10-22-2008, 08:23 AM

I've decided to go with the sedan over the coupe for my new 335i x-drive. ive noticed mostly everyone with a nice aftermarket set of wheels and tires always have the rear drive model, as the ride height from factory is one inch lower, due to less hardware to accomodate all wheel drive. can a 335 with all wheel drive be lowered somewhat to have a nice stance, even with all wheel drive hardware in the way?

Its the XI forum - its talks specifically about xi issues.

And to answer your question - you can lower the ride hieght on the 335xi. A lot of ppl do it with the KW-V3's so that they can adjust the height for summer/track/winter.

I've lowered my XI and have had no problems with clearance, unless I slam it. Ride is a lot stiffer though, that with KWv3.
