Is my xi got lowered?

armansiu · 12-22-2015, 10:19 AM

I just got an used e90 328xi. it seems the wheel gap is less than other car.
i measure by my fingers, front and rear has a gap of 3 fingers (around 2").
Is it the stock xi height? or the previous owner replaced the spring? It was a dealer certified car, so I guess the struts should be stock though.

Thanks.

I'm on stock suspension, and I have a 3 finger gap at the front, maybe 2.5 on the back. I dont think the dealer would certify aftermarket springs or shocks, so I'll go with no, your xi is not lowered.

Agreed. Sounds like the stock suspension to me as well.

It's amazing (not in a good way) what BMW saw fit to do with stock xi suspension from an enthusiast point of view. LOL.
