BMW releasing their own lowering springs soon

Babe · 07-06-2007, 06:42 AM

Called the dealer yesterday to ask about installing lowering springs. They said that BMW will shortly be introductioning their own line of suspension parts, including lowering springs for the XI models...

Yea, I heard this a while back. Some guy works at a dealer and posted about it. I wonder what the prices will be though?

My guess is: EXPENSIVE.

I'm not sure that it will be worth the expense. But, I'm interested to know more.

Then later on ,they should make them an option on the sport package.

Thats funny... I have been looking at E46's recently and noticing how they seem to sit much lower than any E9x's. Even the non-sp E46's have a very small wheel arch gap.

I would be interested if its a mild drop, and can still run 19's on it...

Yea, Ive noticed that too about the E46 sport package.

I checked into this at the dealer here and BMW does offer springs but they only lower the car 2CM.
