would like to recommend these guys if your after ACS springs on your XDrive Saloon, £495 all in. drives great just as straight as when it went in this morning. they had it done in 3 hours and dropped me in town while i waited. they let me keep old springs if i ever wanted to re use them. well worth the trip from manchester.

pics when ive finnished the modding + shes in bmw bodyshop tomorrow for new front bumper from when some tool drove into it at weekend in sainsburys.

that is all

id like spacers on mine but i know very little about them all i know is they add a little bit of beef to the car which is a nice look. handleing, size etc etc ive no clue

Me neither, not something I've done before, but a few others have done it and it does help to fill the arches a bit, so I figured why the hell not!

Also, I will add a stud conversion kit at same time and this has practical benefits when changing the wheels, so handy if you swap to winter tyres each year.

another endorsement to the OPs experience, I had my springs done at DP, a good company, they did a great job for me.

Look forward to seeing the pics after it's been done. Sam @ DT used to work in service @ BMW MK. One of the one people there who actually cared when I dealt with them.

Leaning towards a bilstein coilover set like what Gordon has fitted.
Will just wait to see where Birds development goes, or if Lorcan can do an irresistible deal!

I'm sitting on the fence and just watching for a little while. House building is now looking at £30k more than I budgeted (had meeting with builder and architect on Monday) so I expect I'll be keeping my car at least 4 years now! Finish paying off my 0% on power upgrade next month (can't believe it's nearly 12 months ago I did it!). Pondering on get RS setup.... Whilst it's expensive, I've got nothing but praise for ACS and in all honesty, I just don't have the time to muck about. Drive up, get Lorcan to fit and set up and drive home.

Laugh about fact your MPG has dropped. Amusingly, since I changed my sound thingy over to M3 sound, my MPG has dropped considerably. Gone from 39mpg to 35mpg. Now on summers, I'm down to 33mpg!!! Thing is, if I was driving an M3 in that way, it would be struggling to hit 20mpg so won't complain!

What kind of brakes do you have? Standard or M Brakes?

The blue MSport ones. I'm fitting the M performance discs though, which are grooved and dimpled, and also changing the brake lines and fluid to a higher spec.

What's a "stud conversion" (oo er missus) all about?

What's "changing sound thingy to M3 sound" all about?

M Perf and M Sport disc have the same diameter as I know.

Preisliste Option „S2NHA“ M Sportbremsen (blau lackierte Bremssättel):
Das bestellen/montieren dieser Option ergibt:
Vorne Scheibe: 370mm (Millimeter) / Bremssattel mit 4 Kolben (für die Modelle 328i, 335i, 325d, 330d, 335dX)
Vorne Scheibe: 340mm / Bremssattel mit 4 Kolben (für die Modelle kleiner als 328i & 325d)
Hinten Scheibe: 345mm / Bremssattel mit 2 Kolben (bei allen Modellen)
(Die S2NHA Option M Sportbremsen, die man ab Werk bestellen kann, sind daher unterschiedlich. Die Sechszylinder-Modelle und 328i, 325d erhalten 370mm Scheibendurchmesser vorne. Alle anderen Modelle bekommen „nur“ 340mm Scheiben vorne.)

Sportbremsscheiben:
Für die Modelle mit original Bremsen mit 340mm Scheiben vorne (335i, 335iX, 335dX) kann man nachträglich original BMW angelochte und genutete Bremsscheiben kaufen.
Vorne Scheibe: 340mm = Teilenummer 34 10 6 797 602

Für die Modelle mit Upgrade auf die S2NHA M Sportbremsen (blau gefärbte Bremssättel) kann man ebenfalls nachträglich original BMW angelochte und genutete Bremsscheiben kaufen.
Vorne Scheibe: 370x30mm = Teilenummer 34 10 6 797 603 Modelle 328i, 335i, 325d, 330d, 335dX
Oder

Hinten Scheibe: 345x24mm = Teilenummer 34 20 6 797 600 Modelle 328i, 335i, 325d, 330d, 335d
Hinten Scheibe: 345x24mm = Teilenummer 34 20 6 797 598 Modelle kleiner als 328i & 325d

M Performance Power Kit (nur bei den Modellen 330d, 335dX): Erfordert installierte S2NHA M Sportbremsen in entsprechender Dimension 370x30, oder 18" M Performance Bremsen!

18“ M Performance Bremsen
So und was ist das nun mit den "18“ M Performance Bremsen"?
Diese ergeben für alle Fahrzeuge:
Vorne angelochte und genutete Scheibe: 370x30mm (Millimeter) / Bremssattel mit 4 Kolben
Hinten angelochte und genutete Scheibe: 345x24mm / Bremssattel mit 2 Kolben
Sie sind verfügbar in den verschiedenen Bremssattel Farben: Gelb, Orange, Rot

Das heisst für die Modelle 328i, 335i, 325d, 330d, 335dX:
Grundsätzlich sind die 18“ M Performance Bremsen das gleiche, wie wenn man die Option 2NH M Sportbremsen und dann im Nachhinein vorne und hinten die angelochten und genuteten Scheiben montiert.

Das heisst für die Modelle kleiner als 328i & 325d:
Es ist ein viel größeres Upgrade. Da diese Modelle durch die 18“ M Performance Bremsen vorne 370x30mm Scheiben statt nur 340x30mm Bremsscheiben bekommen, welche sie durch die Option 2NH M Sportbremse für jene Modelle zu bekommen.

Bei den Modellen 328i, 335i, 325d, 330d, 335dX könnte man ab Werk die Option 2NH M Sportbremse bestellen und diese nachträglich durch ummontieren auf die angelochten und genuteten Bremsscheiben zu einer vollwertigen 18“ M Performance Bremse hochrüsten. Man hat dann eben „nur“ blau lackierte Bremssättel, statt Gelb, Rot oder Orange.

M Performance Power Kit (nur bei den Modellen 330d, 335dX): Erfordert installierte S2NHA M Sportbremsen in entsprechender Dimension 370x30, oder 18" M Performance Bremsen!

I will also order the M Perf. brakes from Germany (cheaper ). If I had more money for this I would go for this http://www.ebay.de/itm/Movit-Bremsan...item27f7de6037

6 piston , but only front kit costs 3000£ ...

So will order the M Perf for 1400 front and rear

You don't need that come on..

[evan15281]

No, mainly because I can't be bothered devoting the brainpower to filter out everythying except the disc sizes

How you finding your ACS springs?

Disc size and name is the main point.
