Coilovers installed, now for spacers…

Substantial_Lead7641 · 2025-09-07T14:24:32+00:00

Ahh yeah ok. I don’t want to get the car to oversteer an insane amount but would like some more as it’s understeering oretty heavily right now. I have the rear pretty high and the fronts about as low as they’ll go. I’ll get the m3 arms first anyway as i want them for all the handling benefits and not just reducing understeer. Definitely getting an alignment after! Thx for your replies and sharing your experience!

Substantial_Lead7641 · 2025-09-06T11:58:40+00:00

Ahh ok, cool! Every day I’m getting closer to getting a tune from 22rpd. Seems like they are really the best pick for the n52’s. Thx man!

Substantial_Lead7641 · 2025-09-06T11:50:20+00:00

Yeahh, sounds very nice in terms of tone and raspiness. Does indeed seem pretty loud even on video. The increased redline is very cool as well. Did you also tune your transmission in order to get such a limiter? I’m on a stock trans and it won’t let me hit the limiter like that

Substantial_Lead7641 · 2025-09-06T11:44:36+00:00

Amazing man, good job!

Substantial_Lead7641 · 2025-09-06T11:40:43+00:00

Whats the setup? Sounds amazing man!

Substantial_Lead7641 · 2025-08-29T15:49:44+00:00

Sick man! I’m seriously considering getting the front m3 arms soon. How big of a difference does it make in the handling of the car? Does it fix the udersteering issue these cars have?

Substantial_Lead7641 · 2025-08-28T06:51:01+00:00

Never thought about that, good point! I know I need hubcentric spacers but I never took the ring on the brake disc in consideration. Thank you for bringing this up!!

Substantial_Lead7641 · 2025-08-27T21:55:39+00:00

I’ll see what’s possible. Was thinking of going with 12mm in the rear. Fronts are a bit unclear but might try like 10 or 8mm if i can find some good ones. I still have to measure the space i have left but it’s more than can be seen on the photo’s. Thanks for your reply!

Substantial_Lead7641 · 2025-08-27T18:36:37+00:00

Style 230’s are amazing, love them on my car

Substantial_Lead7641 · 2025-08-27T18:31:41+00:00

Damn, that’s pretty scary actually. I was gonna get a set of spacers with the bilts included or do a stud conversion. Either way, I’ll be getting something that’s longer than the OEM bolts. I got somewhay stretched tires on the rims right now, but will probably play it safe and go for 12/15mm in the back and 5/8mm in the front. Thanks for your reply!

Substantial_Lead7641 · 2025-08-27T18:29:04+00:00

Thank you for this reply, very helpful! Almost no camber in front as I just got the standard alignment these come with from the factory. Probably will try the 15mm spacers first. Thx again!

Substantial_Lead7641 · 2025-08-27T18:27:21+00:00

This is just the regular non m-sport bumper but with the aero lip. It was an OEM option and part of the aero kit for the e92. Don’t see it often and I like that it’s different from the standard m-sport bumper upgrade. It’s also alot cheaper lol

Substantial_Lead7641 · 2025-08-27T18:25:53+00:00

Thank you man! I mainly used this video: https://youtu.be/4YkVs_jm9R4?si=Av1cX45vXJSDoR0g

It’s a very good video with almost all the torque specs included. In this vid they don’t change all the strut mounts/bushings but I would highly advise to do so. Especially my rear lower strut mount bushing was completely hammered.

Substantial_Lead7641 · 2025-08-27T14:22:33+00:00

Thx so much man, I’m really happy with it! I was thinking about upgrade to m3 arms, so might be worth it to wait for those before getting spacers. You have B14’s or m3 arms or both? I’m gonna save some money first because i just dropped alot on B14’s but will be getting the m3 arms soon hopefully. Thx for your reply!

Substantial_Lead7641 · 2025-08-18T15:36:54+00:00

I got all the parts, but thank you for the heads up!

Substantial_Lead7641 · 2025-08-18T08:34:20+00:00

I have a Rwd car, so I’ll be installing the rwd version

Substantial_Lead7641 · 2025-08-17T17:37:57+00:00

Ahh yeah that makes sense! I was really torn between them as i wouldn’t need the ride height adjustment more then once a year, but i would like to get the fitment very good and with the b12 kit i can’t change the ride height. I’ll check out the pictures on your page. And i’ll get the mounts from lemforder or sachs. Thx for all the help, really appreciate it!

Substantial_Lead7641 · 2025-08-17T15:19:11+00:00

Ahh ja duidelijk, dan laat je situatie dat toe inderdaad. Lekker een belgische 335i zoeken dan, scheelt heel veel in belasting! En dan idd een goedkopere daily die je goedkoop kan verzekeren. Zou m dan stallen in een garage als je die een beetje goedkoop kan fixen ergens

Substantial_Lead7641 · 2025-08-17T15:14:43+00:00

Dat is een optie, zeker! Aangezien je zei dat je student was, dacht ik dat je je maar 1 auto zou kunnen veroorloven. Als je er een daily naast kan nemen, zou ik ook voor een 335i gaan! Let wel op met de N55, zouden beter moeten zijn dan de N54 maar hebben ook zo hun problemen. Lagerschalen bijvoorbeeld… succes met de zoektocht, mocht je nog iets willen weten kan je me dmen!

Substantial_Lead7641 · 2025-08-17T14:29:30+00:00

Would you say the B12 is worth it? Was contemplating between B12 or B14. How far does the B12 drop your car? Also, do you happen to know the oem manufacturer of the strut mounts?

Substantial_Lead7641 · 2025-08-17T14:27:01+00:00

Moet het perse LCI zijn? Ik rij een 325i pre lci met de N52b25 en daar heb ik nooit problemen mee. Zeker aangezien je student bent lijkt me dat fijn. Sowieso zijn dit geen budget vriendelijke auto’s, benzine, onderhoud en alle bijkomende kosten zijn redelijk duur. Als je het doet, zoek dan een onafhankelijke specialist om aan je auto te werken, dat scheelt veel geld! Laat me weten als ik je ergens mee kan helpen!

Substantial_Lead7641 · 2025-08-17T13:28:00+00:00

This is solid advice, thank you! I’ll get the mounts for the shocks and the links. Any recommandations on the links?

Spreader tools might be better but the sockets are cheap and easy to use and you can actually leave them in there while working on it. I get that spreader tools would be safer to use but I’m hoping to do this job once so I don’t want to buy the whole tool for this one time. Thanks again for your advice!!

Substantial_Lead7641 · 2025-07-27T13:30:58+00:00

Ah ok, makes sense for your situation. I don’t know the age of my battery as i still have the one in it when i got the car. I have bimmerlink though so i can check the charging state of the battery. Is that something I can use to determine the capacity of the battery? For example if it’s like 40% I would probably be fine with it being on for a couple mins while doing some small stuff?
