F/S: 2014 335i M-Sport Suspension

BIMMERPOST / Classifieds
Asking Price:
None

Item Interest
Hey Bimmerpost,


I know this might be a long shot considering how many 335i suspensions are up for sale on the forum, but I thought that I'd list it anyway. I'm selling the complete front/rear suspension (..struts/shocks/springs) from my 2014 335i M-Sport for $300 OBO (..scratch that, $225 plus shipping). Obviously this will only appeal to 320i or 328i non-M package car owners. If you're interested, shoot me a P/M. Thanks!



SOLD!

Apologies for sounding plebeian but is the M sport suspension different than the sportline suspension? And furthermore, does the two differ on a 328i vs a 335i?

I'm under the impression it's the same.

Thanks

I believe the M-Sport and Sportline are the same on the 335i, but it does differ from that of the 328i. I just don't want car parts building up in my garage, so I need to move this stuff out. Hell, I may sell it for $225 plus shipping!!!

BUMP. Price drop! $225 plus shipping. Shocks/struts are coming off of my car in about a week's time. I'm just waiting for the Bilstein's to arrive.

I wish I can put them on my baseline 328i 4cyl but not make the front of car higher than before!
Has Anyone here put the 335i m sport suspension on a baseline 328i?

do your kit full like @ jamesem selling?

It won't raise the height of a base car. It will drop your ride height.

I believe that it's correct only if this kit is take off from a 328i m-sport suspension, not from 335i as your kit! Your front springs and struts are differ to 328i 4 cyl which has lighter weight and lower power engine!

Your price is so great, I'm hesitate to try on my car or not!

Even still, the drop rate is the drop rate. There was a member with a 335i using 328 coilover suspension because there was no 335i-specific coilover suspension available from the manufacturer at the time of purchase (...I think it was KW). You should be able to use these. I'll do some research for you.

Did you find out if the suspension will work on the 328?

I would guess that the drop rate is calculated on the added weight of the 6-cyl engine. So they won't be "perfect" for anything else.

Even H&R has different springs for 6-cyl and 4-cyl engines. But only the 6-cyl specifications are sold in the US, that is why all 328's are a bit high in the front.

328i uses higher spring rates (stiffer) to compensate for the lighter engine while 335i uses lower springs rates (softer), the dampers are valved differently as well to match the corresponding springs, this creates a 50:50 weight distribution upon all four tires. Why ruin the suspension geometry and handling that BMW engineers spent hours upon hours to perfect?

To each their own. If it's perfect for you, great! That "engineering" argument can be extrapolated infinitely. Why change the wheels on a car that BMW spent hours upon hours to perfect? Why change the power/torque output and engine characteristics on a car that BMW engineers spent hours to perfect? Why.....<insert a million other BMW perfection questions here>? The suspensions on road cars are compromises between comfort, safety - for less than capable drivers - and tractability. Road cars in general are compromises. In stock form they are perfect.....for the average person (..with more understeer dialed than is preferable, among other things), not for those of use who prefer a different type of driving dynamic (..thank God for the aftermarket).

This is why I sold my car for an S2000... I forgot to mention, the front end would be noticeably higher than the rear like Rossifumi accurately stated.



I miss it sometimes, but I have no regrets.
