I have a 2011 335i x drive with 18 inch wheels and currently on some BC BR series extreme low varient coilovers.


I want to go lower in the front and I'm currently maxed out as low as the front can go. Anyone have any input on what spring setup or what I should do to lower about another inch?

I have some input - DON'T


buy a honda or some other PoS if you want to slam it.

Other than that, it looks sexy as is man. A bit low for me, but again, i can respect it and view it as sexy af rn.

I decided to buy a new M tech bumper and some wheel spacers instead of trying to go lower so I can avoid axle problems.

Remove the lip in the spindle with a dremel to enable the strut to slide deeper into the spindle. The rwd has no lip so simply relies on the pinch bolt. There is a DIY for it on an e91 xdrive white with performance body kit but I can't find it sorry.

Lowering an Xdrive too much at the front (beyond the front control arms being horizontal)
Will have an ill-effect on the camber curve during track driving

thanks for the info. I would go lower but I don't want to really deal with axle issues unless I can find a way to either use some sort of axle spacer to remove the tension on the front axle. Any ideas? Or recommendations on mods to do to make the front suspension and drivetrain more accommodating to the low ride height?
