Yes, you can run H&R race springs on the e90xi. there are some pics here that you can check out : http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=449209
Many people will come in saying that you're gonna need some upgraded shocks for that aggressive drop, and I'm gonna agree with that.. you can, however, use them for a while, i guess, before the ride quality gets too harsh. hope that helped!

I'd hope the standard for a BMW is a bit more than just looks. Sacraficing any of BMW's ride quality and engineering seems kind of silly.
I mean, if you're going that way, why not just cut the damn the springs? Some might scoff, but it's not like anyone can say it's a worse engineered solution. |

honestly cutting my springs was never an option for me. i really want to go lower than the H&R sports cause the front seems way too high for me and the race seems too sit much better. thanks again guys for your input and help it really helped, im planning on going with H&R race with new shocks....any specific brand i should run????

http://www.hrsprings.com/scripts/app...Find3&MakeID=4 If the standard is just to look cool, only an idiot would make such a terrible performance based decision. Your car will ride like crap, and you'll ruin the struts with both options. Might as well save some money on your ricer, if that's really all you want to achieve anyways. $0.02 Personally, if you're looking to upgrade your suspension on a BMW, I'd want to do work worthy of a BMW and accomplish more than just a tucked/slammed look at the expense of the driving experience.

^ Aren't you in an e46? Looks like you're in a 2006 330i.
Hard to make any meaningful comparisons there... |
