F31 335d xdrive lowering springs help

[Tango222]

Hi all, I've got the above and wanted to sharpen the handling up a bit. I've seen lowering springs online but I have the adaptive suspension.

On the eibach website it says the springs are for non levelling suspension

Does anyone have any links or part numbers for lowering springs that will go with the adaptive suspension please . Thank you

IIRC the Alpina springs are the ones to go for, as per reading I did re xDrive F31s before I bought my non xDrive F31

Lots of into in these UK forums: https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/forumdisplay.php...

Thanks do you know if there is a difference between the adaptive and non adaptive springs

I couldn't find alpina I found AC Schnitzer springs on their site it says fully compatible with both adaptive and non adaptive are these good too?

I can recommend the ACS springs, preferably with their dampers. A colleague had an X3 M Sport over 10 years ago with a ride so poor he was going to lose his shirt trading it in after 4 months. The thing was completely unsuitable for UK roads that were not as atrocious as they are now. The Schnitzer suspension was pricey but transformed the car.....like night and day.

I have had these on my 330d since new in 2014, 160,000 miles in and no issues, with handling definitely improved

I have the ACS springs on my F31 335d x-drive with adaptive dampers. As far as I’m aware the dampers are not self levelling. They have been on for 65k miles with no issues. Looks good and handles well (although I never drove it with the OEM springs)
