Hi peeps, I'm currently looking to overhaul the suspension to my non-sport suspension E90 328. I've basically settled on the B12 kit system base off reviews on ride quality and with the moderate drop I've seen in a few pics here.

Question is: What are the differences in ride quality of both kits? I only see mention that the The B12 Sportline lowers the car up to 2.0" in front and 1.2" in the rear. Anyone can share any experience if you can?

Thanks a lot Chris. Def sure to check out the offerings on your site as well.

Update: Went with Sport Kit. Playing it safe.. Didn't want a jarring experience. Install was a bit longer than expected. Few issues on removal with old strut mount ripping out etc.

All in all. I love it. I'll share pics once a proper wash has been done.

Here is why you change your strut mounts on a suspension refresh. Don't be cheap!!

I think you made a good choice. It's tough to justify a B12 lowering kit for a 328.

Any pictures for the ride height now? I'm also considering changing the same kit

I'll see if I can grab some this weekend. There is a slight change to the front as M3 arms were installed over a year now. Resulted with the front looking a tad bit lower.

Here in.

Car sits on 19" wheels. M3 control arms installed at front. Fronts tucks in quite nicely. Car feels like a little go cart to be honest but NVH has increased at slow speeds.

Looks great. I think I'll probably look into doing this as well. Golf cart as in nimble? Or as in ride quality? What's NVH?

Yup. Nimble and just seems more agile to turn in than before. NVH. Noise, vibrations and handling. You feel more of every imperfection off the road now. Maybe that's also attributed to the skinny profile wheels but ehh..

Just need to get her a transmission so I can start getting on the roads again.
