Do all E90 Pre-LCI have the "same suspension"?

busted323i · 08-30-2022, 03:41 PM

I'm trying to buy some suspension parts but I'm not sure if it'll fit.

I have a 2006 323i with sport suspension, and was wondering if 325i and 328i struts would be the same as 323i struts.

(Buying from FCP euro, they have no 323i option)

Familiarize yourself with realoem.com. Your car most likely has "VB53" in the VIN. I'm seeing 325i and 328i have same front struts as you. Part numbers end in 001 and 002. Donot know yet why 2 different part numbers.

RealOEM is your guide as NorthernDancer says... In recently replacing the suspension on my pre-LCI m-sport 330i I can say that I only saw part numbers and descriptions for 2 suspension setups. Sport and regular.

It's not a dramatic difference really, between base suspension and sport. As far as fitment, physically any e9x e82 shocks struts sway bars and springs combinations will fit no matter what model the car is.
