I've been waiting, too. In the mean, I guess we should ask for a group buy for the KW V3

I haven't been able to find anyone that can answer the question. When you look for sway bars or springs, they all indicate 'not for Xi'. The all wheel drive system likely interferes with the sway bars up front ... but the lowering springs ???

Bavarian autosport i.e. Bavauto.com says that bilstein 16 ride constrol suspension works with the e90 335xi, I don't know about you coupe guys, but i hope this is right for at least the sedans... we definitely need some sway bars tho.

Getem Ron!!! Bavauto does say the bilstein b16 ride controls work with the e90 335xi... and I hope they're right because those things weren't cheap...

If B16 works, should PSS9s work too?

bilstein was wrong on pss9, they put up the same pss9 model number for "i" and "xi", and they didn't even know the difference. on bilstein... i used to love them a lot.

Ron, thanks for going out on a limb like that, but do you think it is really likely any time soon?

By the way, any lowering springs for the XI Coupe?
