2010 BMW 135i M Sport e82 suspension upgrade...

[roadgolfer]

I'm getting ready to upgrade my suspension all around. I am also likely to be adding a tuning package in the next few months that will add about 100hp.

I'm looking for recommendations / opinions to help make the right choice.

What have you done that you are very happy with?

TIA for the help!

This is a very wide ranging topic. Your tastes / needs / wants will be different than others.

I would suggest a better approach for you would be to read through one of the many suspension threads in the suspension/brakes forum as people have given their opinions there already.

Good advice from asbrr above.

Decide how much comfort means to you, how much lowering of the car do you want and how much you want to spend.

I looked there first. Also ran a search and neither gave me much.
Comfort is not a concern. But, not looking for a track set up either.
Not really looking to lower more than 1" from stock.
Cost...just looking for the most bang for the buck. Trying to save time shopping every corner of the market for a good product at a good price. Figured the car is old enough that many here have had to have gone through this already and could help out.

had the one for 10 years and done it all so ima keep it very brief and on point

1.ditch runflats for michelin PSS
2. M3 Rear subframe bushings
3. m3 fromt upper and lower control arms
4. new struts and shocks.


and there ya have it do these and you will bave significantly improved your handling after these main things then you can do

M3 rear control arm kit
camber plate kit (go dinan if your not tracking)
apex wheels are a huge gain also for driving feel and dynamics i have 1m front end so i got wide wheels up front which transformed the car.

I have everything mentioned here done so i am speaking from experience.
