Is H&R or Dinan the only aftermarket spring option for X-drives?
Anyone know of other options? I am partial to Eibach, as they lower the car without changing the ride comfort really. But from what I can tell, Eibach never came out for X-drive models.
Thanks. |

AC Schnitzer has spring options for xDrive models.
I found some Eibachs for the F31 with xDrive (not in the Eibach site though) but not sure if they just transfer the same springs between the sedan and wagon. Here's the link to the touring set: http://www.tdcautomotive.com/Eibach-...8i_A1B85H.aspx

M-Sport springs worked for me ! 10-12mm drop with improved handling.

I would recommend this setup to anyone that wants less body roll while maintaining OEM-like comfort and ride height.

Can you tell me if the comfort of the ride has gotten worse? If so, how much? Thank you! |

You can use any springs in the x drive that you would use in the rwd. Contrary to popular belief the springs are exactly the same. Manufactures are selling them as a different product due to the x drive drivetrain angles and load so they springs may be a bit stiffer. Otherwise identical.
