Does 335i suspension fit 330i's?

Does anyone know if a non-sport 2008 335i's suspension would fit a 2006 330i?

If its sedan it shouldn't be any issues. If 335i is coupe, than spring rates are little different, and you rear may sag a bit.. Assuming that both are RWD..

Yes it's a sedan. Both RWD cars. Also I just noticed your sig and I was wondering how much you sold your 2006 330i for if you dont mind me asking.

dont do it, especially the springs, the 335i is heavier, it will raise the 330i.

Well I mean the 335i is 3605lbs whereas the 330i is 3450lbs, will it really make that much of a difference?

My main concern is the fitment because a friend of mine with a 335 upgraded his suspension long ago and is willing to give me his set for really cheap because my suspension is totally gone.

You can put 335i suspension on a 330i but not the springs, reuse your 330i springs, BMW tunes the springs based on options let alone a 335i which is way heavier, it will raise the car search around someone did the math and its not insignificant.

Hmm...I'd give the springs a try. Even if the car ends up sitting higher, they'll probably be stiffer than what you're currently riding on; no?
