Lowering 335xi

JWadle · 05-05-2007, 11:26 PM

I have just taken delivery on my new 335xi. I am planning on replacing the 18" OEM wheels (162s) with Morr 19' CSL Reps but would also like to drop the car a bit.

Has anyone done a drop on an xi? Which kit is recommended? I do not want to make the ride harsh, just drop it for better looks.

Any suggestions?

I dropped my 328xi with H&R sports. Ride is definitely harsher than stock, but there is not too many other options at this time if you want it lowered.

this is a 330xi, but it uses the same H&R Sport Springs for XI

Are these just H&R springs w/OEM shocks or coilovers?

its just HR Springs and stock shock

looks like e92 xi with sport spring, the front is not higher than rear. unlike e90... mine looks weird with the front sitting highter...

what happens if we just do the front springs only...I like how my rear sits stock but front needs to be lowered

I just picked up my 335xi and I'd like to drop it a bit. Do most people stick with the stock shocks and just change the springs?

Yes, but its not a good idea. There is tons of debate about this in previous threads.
