Bumpstops for E90 335D

Hi,

what bump stops do most people go for when lowering an E90 on a Pre-LCI 335D?

I've heard of people going for E36 M3 front bump stops and Z3M rears. Does this work? And if so what is the ride like?

Thanks

E36 M3 for the fronts and E85 Z4 for the rears. A lot of people who have lowered and used these have had positive experiences.

If the car has over 50k miles i'd also replace the top mounts.

Any particular top mounts? Or is it best just to use OEM stuff?

I will be using OEM, should be fine.

Turnermotorsports do a kit with the front top mounts and rear shock mounts: http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-11...uspension.aspx

That's for an M Sport. If yours is an SE just look for the non-m version.

Then take the part numbers and enter them on this website, they are cheaper:

If you have the bumpstop part numbers the above website also sell them.

Thanks for that bud. Do you have the part numbers for the E36 front bump stops and E85 rear bump stops?

I sure do:

Front E36 M3 bumpstops: 31332225377
Rear Z4M bumpstops: 33507838832

They should come in packs of two.

What suspension are you thinking of?

Are these needed on all lowered cars?

Yes shorter bumpstops are highly recommended when you lower. See this thread: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=614778 In the thread a guy opts for the above bump stops and is happy. Now the norm on the other side of the river is M3/Z4 bumpstops when lowering. Cutting stock ones is not recommended

The rears should be Z4M and not Z4. I realised just today i posted the Z4 part numbers. Please see the updated Z4M bumpstop part number! Hope no one has bought yet!

Just a set of H&R springs for the time being!

Anyone pondering about Z4 or Z4M bumpstops please see page 2 of this thread: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=924740

Both will work but just trying to find out the difference!
