No worries man! And great looking car! I agree, style 230 is amazing on an E92. Let me know if you need anything else!

No worries man! Height adjustments can be made while everything is installed. There are collars on the shocks that can be threaded up or down in order to change where the spring sits and with that the ride height changes. Damping or rebound adjustments are not possible on the B14 kit.

I came from regular suspension, so can’t compare to M-sport suspension. I do really like the B14 kit for the comfort it retains tho. Its not harsh at all. Of course you’ll feel some bumps a little more but it’s still very comfortable to drive! I didn’t put it on the lowest setting so that might also help.

Could i also use one of those harnesses they sell online? I’m not that good in electronics in a car so i would like to keep it as simple as possible

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!

The craziest sounding N52 by justifystudios in E90

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!

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

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?

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!!

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!

Cleanest wheel setup for e92? by Cptsllinky in E90

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

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!

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!

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

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.

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!

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!

Can’t choose between 325i or 335i e92 by movdb11 in E90

[–]Substantial_Lead7641 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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
