No lowering spring options for 228i xDrive?
I have a 2016 228i xDrive and haven't been able to find any lowering springs that aren't specified for RWD... looked into Dinan, H&R, and Eibach springs and it seems there is no options for my car? Coil overs with EDC are just too far out of the budget. Any advice?

Thanks for the link, xdrive parts do seem to be scarce. But WTF is the world coming to when auto parts descriptions include "Captivating unboxing experience"

What I find odd is that Vogtland lists this spring as compatible with both RWD or xDrive wtih the same part number. Other manufacturers list a separate number for RWD. On ECS the H&R spring for 228i RWD is listed as not compatible with the xDrive.
I am wondering if Eibach, H&R etc... for RWD will still work fine on the xDrive.

It's interesting... I've reached out to H&R, Eibach, and Dinan and all 3 have kind of avoided whether or not other model xDrive springs will fit,Or if the RWD also fits xDrive. Although I reached out to MSS (a much higher grade spring system) who is manufactured by eibach and their F22/F87 set will work on RWD or xDrive variants. The people at MSS were also very very helpful!
