I am genuinely shocked how much of an improvement these Springs are overstock for performance without compromising comfort, I thought it would’ve been a marginal upgrade and was only doing it for looks but it is genuinely more solid in corners. This is how it should’ve come from factory.

Those of you that have installed Eibach Pro springs, for which model car did you purchase - M340i or M2? I do not see the M240i in the drop down selector on the Eibach website.

I snagged mine from tunershop for like 260 shipped from Germany had them 3 days later in the US. They make specific m240 xdrive springs.

Well thanks but the R44 website must be either having them custom made by Eibach or buying M2 or M340i spring kits and selling them as M240i kits because Eibach does not show any '22-'24 model year spring kits for M240i on their website. I am guessing they are using M340i kits and selling them as M240i kits.

BTW, mine is RWD and the ones I see on R44 are XDrive - they may be different.

Have a look on the Eibach UK site, rather than their US site. There seems to be a significantly greater range of springs available.

The ref for the RWD G42 M240i on the UK site is E10-20-052-02-22. It appears they are the same for Xdrive as well.

I got mine from AutoID - about Ł299.

M240/M340 springs are different in almost every way but both kits have type approval for the respective cars






RWD same part numbers as xdrive

Thanks. Curious that the Eibach USA site does not show any M240i springs but the Euro site does.

I wish we had shifter options like this one for the G42... I hate the piano black on the G42 knob and the carbon fiber version is quite dumb, IMO, given that the carbon fiber piece faces away from you

The exhaust whisperer

This is mine after, back box only although I did contemplate a valve controller too, it's absolutely perfect sonically for me.
