325xi

I'm looking into lowering my car any information on what would be the best/recommended route to getting rid of wheel gap would be appreciated.

I was planning on just getting lowering springs but everything is listed for "i" not the "xi" so I was wondering if they are interchangeable.

Did you install both at the same time?
I'm thinking of just buying lowering springs and installing those for now.

I've been on kw v1s for awhile now and I love it, makes the car feel completely different (in a good way).

Yeah I'm going to invest in some koni yellows.
I want to get rid of the gap quckly so I can put my rims on but it's been a nightmare with the xi.

I wasn't sure if I could use "i" springs or not my plan was to install springs on the stock suspension for the meanwhile.

$$$$$ !
How much of a drop can you get out of them?
A lot of the people on here run with those I've noticed.

EDIT: And is that an "xi" set up or is it for the "i" and it's just compatible ?

i got bc coilovers about to install it this saturday we'll see how it goes hehe

very rare people have bc coilovers on their xi...

they said it might not be low enough compared to RWD

bc company said they dont make it for xi but it doesnt mean it wont fit or work.

im not tryna slam my e90 though just a nice fitment heheh

we'll see this saturday.

i thought about springs and shocks but it'll cost right about the same price i paid for BC COILOVERS
