Dinan springs installed on on M235i xdrive (pics inside)
Hey guys, I got the Dinan spring set installed on my M235i xdrive earlier this week. I hadn't seen any pictures of the spring set on any xdrive 2'ers, and therefore wanted to post pictures, albeit from from my Iphone camera, for others who were interested in seeing how it looks. 1/2 inch in the front and 5/8 inch in the rear (in comparison RWD M235's get a full inch in the rear and RWD 228's get half an inch in the rear). I purchased the springs mainly for aesthetics and it's a fairly subtle drop which was what I was looking for. The guy who installed them said I'd definitely notice improvement in handling. I haven't really done any spirited driving yet but I haven't noticed much of a difference in daily in-town driving.

Looks great! Still noticeable even though the drop is subtle. I'm still waiting to get a set of 19" wheels before pulling the trigger on a set of Dinan springs.

Looks proper. Dinan seems to have the best drop for this car IMO, and seems to have the best form/function of them all.

thanks! I've definitely notice less bodyroll when driving in Sport and Sport+ modes without a sacrifice in ride quality. Now if only Dinan's Shockware was available for the M235...
