2017 230i XDrive Performance Springs?

Uwrwilke · 10-02-2019, 07:38 PM

Are there any options? All that I can find are only for the RWD.

Do you found the Mperformance springs for the 230i RWD?
Do you please give me the catalog numbers?
Thanks in advance.

At least on the F3x platform the 4cyl xdrive cars use the same springs as the 6cyl RWD cars (in general), therefore if you got the m-perf springs for the M235/M240i it should be about right for your 230ix.

There aren't any specific xdrive m-perf kits since BMW never made xDrive m-perf front struts, that said, Bilstein B6/8 front struts will probably pair well with M-perf front springs (based on my B6 dyno data), and you can put the M-perf rear shocks in (don't put the Bilstein B6/8 rear shocks in, they're WAYYY overdamped).
