The spring rate on e91 is probably very similar with e93 since both have added weight in the rear. Physically they all the same, all 1 and 3 series non M RWD. The xDrive are diferent on the front only. Reach out to Chris chris@strutmonkey for complete assemblies. However, you rebuild engines so you can easily piece a kit together yourself.

I know I can do it but since I already have 19" wheels I don't want my suspension and harsher than stock so I was considering ordering one of those all in one kits like this one. https://www.1aauto.com/bmw-complete-...8aAi2PEALw_wcB
It says for cars "without sport suspension" so I need to see what I got. I was mainly worried that E90's may be 1" taller or something like that.

e90 could be lower than e93. Depends on the suspension option, engine size, transmission type and etc. Easiest would be to use VIN decoder and see what the vehicle came with from factory. The 19" could have been added afterwards by previous owner. I'm on BMW PS (performance suspension, 25mm lower than base and 10mm lower than sport) and run 19" in winter. My summer set is 18". Went with 225/40/19 and 255/40/19 for smoother ride. Oem recommend 19" tire size was to harsh.

The car came originally with 17" 185 style wheels. The VIN decoders never really say if you have sport suspension or not.

It will give you list of codes (options), like a0226 that is for sport suspension

Highly doubt any "sport" optioned cars came with 17" wheels from the factory.

I agree. I got sport leather steering wheel but that is cosmetic and standard as far as I know. To be honest I am fine with normal great BMW handling. I don't plan to "track" this car and want a comfortable ride. I already have 19" aftermarket wheels so ride quality will already be greatly diminished.
My main reason for wanting to know is that I am about to pull the trigger 9n some complete assemblies and they seem to cover all the 07-13 3 series. I will probably make a special E93 order for rear struts since I am sure they are heavy duty for the extra convertible weight.

3 spoke sport steering wheel is standar on all 6cyl e92 and e93. Sport seats arent. I believe the sport suspension is standard too despite some coming with non sport seat and 17" wheels. Koni Active (red) updated version of Koni FSD are said to offer the most comfort. Just get those and reuse the existing springs.

Yeah, I was referencing 335s specifically...my coworker has an E90 328 w/ sport package and 17s for sure.

What spring codes did that car come with?

No idea.
It's a sport package car, but all I know is it's stock except for B6s I put on it.

I may look into the Konis if they are a smooth ride. I also want to change the upper strut mounts since the car has 157,000 miles.

My '07 335i m-sport came factory with 17" and sports suspension.

Koni Orange, Koni Yellow. I always prefer to recommend Koni Yellow since they are adjustable. Although some shocks are great out of the box there really is nothing better then to be able to dial it in to really meet your wants out of them, my .02.
