Help lifting a E90 LCI M-Sport 335i

mfractal · 09-24-2017, 05:59 AM

Hi all.

There was a thread here about a similar subject but i can't seem to find it.

Basically the car is too low for the quality of roads we have over here and i would like to lift the car about 1-2cm all around.

What would be the best way to go about it ?

Buy a Subaru

The guy fitted X1 suspension parts. It was in the XI subforum I think.

Get the poor road package spacers fitted? Might be hard to get your hands on the components as these are often region/market specific

This is first time I've seen someone wanting to lift a 335i. Please don't buy a Subaru. Everyone has them.

Actually there were more than few within the span of a week. All the information is there...go and find it.

FCobra94 nobody wants to do any leg work lately. Is sad. Jarronbwall tell us where everybody has Subaru and please don't say at the plant in Lafayette lol

My takeaway from these is to use the front spacer (p/n 31306779671) and rear spring pads p/n 33531094754 but there are more options described in these threads.

Basically the entire Midwest, Indiana heavily, and EVERY person in VT. Have you driven in Vermont? It's insane

I will say I love the older STI's (almost bought one before I joined the bmw club) but that's about it.

Oh you factor in VT? What is the population there? Half a million. I leave in Chicago. There a probably as many e90's here alone as total of Subaru's in VT. I see about dozen e90's every single day a half of them are 335i. Let be reasonable now.

Vermont has the nicest people but I agree little population and economy.
Do you drive yours in the winter? When I purchased my car it came with snow tires. That made for interesting summer test drive!.. I was unaware they were mounted

I have a beatermobile for the cold weather though.

Yes, I drive mine pretty much every day. In winter too. I have dedicated winter setup with Blizzak WS60 tires
