E90 Lowering Springs

I have an 08 328xi sedan and I was checking out lowering springs for my car and I dont think all the springs are available for the xi. Will the springs for the i fit my xi? I read about Eibachs and those are pretty good I heard, what others should I consider?

There were several members using i-springs on their xi-vehicles, both H&Rs and Eibachs.

I don't think there will be a fitment issue to those i-springs on your xi, but I bet the ride comfort will decrease significantly. You can achieve the "look," but that's not what I would do.

I read on a post that someone had a better ride on there i...so you're saying the ride will be more harsh on an xi?

Go with the springs that are actually designed for your xDrive suspension...H&R Sport...the ride is stiffer because it's a stiffer sport spring but by no means harsh

H&R springs are better for the Xi vehicles, what other springs should be considered
