E91 xDrive Suspension Questions

Hi All!

New to me BMW E91 and i’m noticing most online listings for Coilovers for E91’s are mainly for RWD cars.

Can anyone confirm if A car being xDrive makes a difference in terms of RWD/AWD Coilovers?

Thanks

Yup.

4wd cars have shorter front struts.

Half-shaft gets in the way.
