Feeler: BMW Performance Springs E82 135i

BIMMERPOST / Classifieds
Asking Price:
None

Item Interest
This is more of a feeler at this point. I have a set of BMW performance springs that were just installed in April of this year and currently have 2k miles on them. This is not a daily driven car so the mileage on the springs will not go up much. These are the yellow springs found on the BMW performance suspension kit. They are currently on the car so I don't have any pictures. However I'm flushing the brake fluid this upcoming weekend so I'll snap some pictures from up under the car once the wheels are off. I'm seeing if anyone if interested at this price point $325 shipped. If someone is confirmed interested I'm considering switching over to the Swift Spec R Springs.

If you do $310 that will cover the PayPal fees. I can agree to that. PM me if that is accept able. I will order the Swift Springs tomorrrow. If they come in by next weekend I'll pull the old Springs off install the new ones and will be ready to ship by Next Monday the 22nd. I go on vacation on the 23rd so if the new Springs don't come in by the weekend before it won't be till early August.

I already had the M3 subframe bushings and front control arms already installed before I did the Springs. I did the Koni Dampers at the same time as the springs. I have since done the the M3 swaybar and M3 rear upper control arms. The car feels great. If your doing the springs I would definitely do the shocks/struts though. M3 subframe bushings should be high on your to do list also.
