Has anyone ever done any suspension work on a 3 series? Im getting ready to lower my friends 318ti and i was just curious if theres anything special i need to look out for or if its pretty strait foward like most compacts. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

BMW's on this poor ass site? yeah right! :angel:


i can only imagine that it's not all that different from anything else. maybe some different hardware, maybe different style, but all in all, just suspension.

his 533? got any pics, never heard of that one before


the onyl thing that wuold be different then a regular car is if it has any sort ride leveling or suspension monitors, which on a 318, thats a pretty base model bimmer, i wouldn't worry about it.. pull those struts and drop that fool
