Newbie

Hello everyone!! Newbie here!! Bought a 2011 335i xdrive a week ago.
Wheel and fender is just too big of a gap.
It is my DD and i live in Jersey

Not planning on slamming the car. Priority is Comfort

Thinking about same height with 335i sport suspension. Probably 1" drop all around.

Im on stock wheel for now
Budget around $1600

1. What's the best setup for a dd and comfort is top priority?
2. Coilover or shock/spring combo?
3. What Brand of coilover?
4. What spring/shock combo?

I put on Koni FSD's and let everything else stock on the suspension since I run 19's. Much smoother and less jarring than the stock shocks. If I were to lower it would suggest Eibach which matches up with the FSDs. I don't track it either so taking it easy. I like the comfort as well.

I've had H&R sports on a previous F30 which was a little stiff plus rubbed in the back when someone was sitting back there. The look was much better but that's it.
