Hey guys and gals, I have been searching the old inter web for a couple of days now and have narrowed down my options from what I see to be a suitable option for my 2009 335i xDrive. I did something stupid and went against my, and a lot of forum members, best judgement and got springs installed and kept my stock shock/strut assembly. Not only did I get only springs, I got h&r race springs, and not only were they h&r race springs, they were for an "I" model which dropped my "xdrive" model down, way more than these stock xdrive front setup can handle. So, as you can imagine I feel as if every bump I hit, my drivetrain is going to fall straight out from underneath my precious baby...😩😩😩

What I believe my "options" are in terms of a reasonable budget and figment:

Koni Yellows- new around $2-$250 per front shock/strut
Bilstein HD- new around $2-$275 per front shock/strut
Bilstein Sport- new around $225-$300 per front shock/strut
Stagg shs (German "eBay" over promise under deliver option) $225/all 4
Kyb has shock- $300/all 4

So what my ideal purchase would be to just pay the $4-$500 for brand new koni yellows or Bilsteins/find a good deal from one of you. I was about to pull the trigger on an entire koni Orange setup until I realized the fron let of an xdrive vs i is completely different.

Please let me know
1. What you have for sale/to offer
2. If I have some other options
3. THAT YOU HEAR MY MESSAGE OF NO SWAPING OUT JUST SPRINGS ON ANY AWD MODELS GOING TO I (RWD) SPRINGS!!! Lol.

Thanks in advance!

I have a set of koni yellow fronts for an x drive335 that acidentally bought for my rwd 335. I tried to install the left front then realized they were incorrect. So they are basically new in the box. I'd take 300 shipped for them. let me know
