M Sport springs or stock springs
Hello guys.
So i bought a set of springs that are suppose to be a BMW M sport springs from a BMW E91 335 xi LCI, but is there any way i can identify them from the stock regular springs from a BMW E91 xDrive ?? Is there any difference between an M springs and stock springs for an xDrive BMW E91 ?? There are some markings on them like C7 on both rear springs, does that mean anything ?? https://ibb.co/jfCZ5v Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you Last edited by dugzy; 05-27-2017 at 12:10 PM.. |

Yeah, that whole set is considered "non-sport."
If you want sport, both front and rear need to start with a "D" code. What spring codes do you currently have? If you currently have C6, you need to get a D6, etc. |

@ OP FC is correct, E9x xi cars always have "C" labeled springs no matter what, buy some "D" springs to achieve similar ride height to i sport package. It'll be a bit higher in the front though.

Your front springs are either I3 or I4. Your rear springs are correctly C7. There are no BMW sport springs for any e9X xdrive models.

So if i understood correctly these are actually the normal BMW springs for an E91 Xdrive not an M sport springs, cause Xdrive vehicles dont have M sport springs ??

For the 4th time, NO xDrive models came with sport springs, no if ands or butts.
