Coilover adjustment
I love my E90 335 xdrive but I'm starting to wish the suspension was a little more sporty with less roll etc, so I'm thinking about coilovers. However, I got xdrive and have winter tires because I drive the car to ski resorts several times per year. The extra ground clearance is nice for the winter.
My question is how easy is it to adjust ride height with a coilover setup. Could I bump up the ride height if it snows or I'm going to the mountains, or would that be very difficult and require removing the wheels etc? |

I'm not sure it's something you want to do for specific trips or storms but you can definitely raise it for the winter and lower for the nicer months

if you are going for just a more sporty ride and are not concerned with ride height, then why not just get new shocks/struts? I'm not sure is bilstein HDs or Koni FSD/Yellows will fit an xi though. Really no point in going for a coilover if you aren't looking to lower the car at all.
