Check if the actual strut is sitting firmly and flush in the knuckle. It might be that. The strut should sit all the way down in the knuckle. I am much lower then that on my sonic tuning and im not even close to max

I'll have to check again. But i remember specifically we had to turn it so the knuckle slid all the way down in the strut.

Remove the bump stop. That is the reason and we are just debating on everything else for no reason.

you cant even put a finger in the rear, even if you try.... the front you can but you have to squeeze a finger in. This is about half way down on my v3... this picture is hard to see anything but its on a hill so it looks like i have more wheel gap then normal.

Thanks giaolong. Seems like you're the only one with faith set in my bump stops.

I am wondering if perhaps the issue is the OP has 328xi and all the other people have 335xi? 335xi has more weight on the front but the K1 part # is the same for both models. So I would expect it to sit a bit higher for the same thread height setting than a 335. |

As for the bump stops they are there to prevent expensive metal parts from smashing into each other at high speeds when the suspension bottoms out. |

Haha, i said remove the Bump Stops just to prove that is what keeping him from going any lower. After u see my point, put them back in as u please.
I have bump stops on mine still, it just that i cut it by half.

I'm too about that height, with half the length of threads left. Maybe 12 remain.

Maybe I got a bad batch or something?? Ill end up taking it to a reputable shop and have them look at it. Shops here in Alaska were quoting me $800+ on coil install. Basically $125- $150 an hour.
