I originally had the sport package and upgraded to the Performance Suspension at 897mi, huge difference. After upgrading to a race suspension the Performance Suspension front ARB and rear upper shock mounts are still there although I did upgrade the front ARB bushings to BMW Motorsports Group N parts. The springs were chosen by the suspension shop based on the ARB with little to no need to ever readdress it in the future. So really it's possible to upgrade springs, front and rear, from the sport pkg to pretty much anything without addressing the ARB at all as long as the spring rate provides equivalent roll rate. But the price of this is a harsher ride. If you can tolerate it then the ARB is pretty much meaningless unless pushing the car to the limit on the track. Otherwise go for the M3 bar and leaves the springs alone for the time being to see if it provides the roll resistance you want and the ride comfort you're looking for. You haven't really said what your goals are but I'm guessing it's to minimize roll while maintaining streetability, correct?

I do like to push the car to the limits every now and then and I like it a lot when the car feels like its on rails, and when I am cruising above the speed limit and it feels planted and safe.

I've had three of these cars so far, and the first thing I do is shocks springs front control arm bushes rear subframe bushes and sway bars. I've had a few different combinations. On my current e82 I went with Swift springs, bilsteins, whiteline poly bushings and eibach swaybars. The one constant through two e90's and an e82 has been the swaybars, I think 28mm front and 15mm back is a good upgrade without losing too much performance which I never bring it to the limit on the street anyway.

Hey folks,
I have a reverse problem. I have a non M3 FSB which we tried to intall on an M3 and it wouldnt fit the bracket (bushing is too wide). Appears I'd need a non M (or a 335i) swaybar brakcet to make it work since all the FSB seem to be same (fitting the endlinks)? Went with the solid non adjustable e9x bar (1mm smaller) as the larger adjustable one broke the endlink twice even on the softest setting. Suspension wise Bilstein and Eibach. Nothing crazy (rest all stock). TIA Lutfy |
