Photo Request: Your 1er on BMW Performance suspension
I'm thinking about getting the BMW Performance suspension for my 135is, but I'd love to see some photos of it installed.

You've seen some of these already...
IMO, perfect amount of drop. The ride is extremely comfortable as well.

Thanks guys. I think I'm sold. Did you have the dealer do the install?

I think for the money it offers a very good value. Make sure you order the right springs, they are VIN specific to your car's options.

Just be careful Worra as they're saying it takes about 8.5 hours to install, so make sure you factor in those potential labor costs before you order it and realize it may cost a whopping amount just to put them in.
Also, my sense is you're thinking of keeping the runflats and spending that money to get the performance suspension? Or possibly doing both? Your friendly attorney, always reading the fine print, Greg |

There's a whole suspension section on this forum that probably has plenty of pictures you're looking for. So don't be surprised if this thread gets moved or deleted.

Worra, I am researching this as well.
I too am looking for a little tighter and stiffer ride. As soon as I get real numbers, I will PM you.

Not sure what dealer labor rates are there, my dealer was $175/hr which sucked cause I had them install my stainless steel pedals for me before I took delivery since I'm a cripple. |
