Front coilover install, what to replace? (XI)

stafebak · 02-26-2020, 05:18 PM

I haven't really been able to find a solid answer in searching as far as fronts go. Rears had plenty of answers, and I have that sourced and taken care of.

I will be doing my front coilovers on my XI and was wondering if there were any recommend parts to replace while I am doing that work aside from the nuts?

Thanks in advance!

If they are adjustable dampening, I would look at doing the M3 strut tower brace as well. Otherwise, you may not be able to access that feature without removing each brace.

Would you recommend this also to a e92 335i also?

The coupe is the same situation. I wouldn’t worry about it if you don’t plan on adjusting them. I didn’t realize the tower struts covered the dampers when I put my coils in.
