E93 - Lowering and spacing

Evening, I'm new to the forum and hoping to find some answers to my questions.


Car - E93 320d Msport - LCI on 19" 313M's (255 rear, 235 front)


Can anyone recommend any spacers for the rear and possibly the front? What size have people gone for in the past?

Examples/pics would be great as I'm unsure what size to go for.
Ideally quality spacers from a reputable source.

I'd like to lower the car at the same time to make the car sit nicer and look better, what springs and drops have you gone for? and would the camber be an issue when lowering & spacing the car?



Many thanks in advance!



P.S. I have used the search function but I'm hoping to find answers specifically in the UK forum.

Garage List
Camber should not be an issue. Eibach or H&R springs are popular on here (H&R generally felt to give a firmer ride). If you're thinking of upgrading dampers (always a good idea with new springs) it's worth fitting them when you do the springs, otherwise you double your labour time/cost.

Good source of reputable spacer brands here:

Don't forget you'll need longer bolts (longer by the width of the spacers you choose). The best way to determine what spacers you want is by measuring. See here:

I've gone with 10mm Eibach spacers all round on a pre-lci E92 with 313's fitted. Stance is nice as it's not too far to the arch but pushed out enough to be noticeable.

As for lowering, as Phil has mentioned Eibach and H&R are the popular choices. You need to search for a few pics of both fitted to determine which looks wise you prefer.
