So I recently went with air suspension on my m235i and I have to say it's been great so far.
I do have mods, the car isn't just suspension and a lip, my mod list is:

M Performance lip
M Performance carbon spoiler
M Performance diffuser
BMS Jb4
ER charge pipe
BMS Intake
Air suspension (of course)
Meth kit (not installed tho)
ER intercooler
Dinan exhaust

Soon to acquire: VRSF or ER charge pipes


I'll attach some pics of it how it looks right now, I'm ordering new wheels, only downfall is that they'll take a while to get into my hands..

Hope you enjoy, and no, I do not drive at this height.

Air gets kind of a bad wrap in aftermarket, I've had it on many SUVs and some sedans from factory. Track, nah to much weight and complications but nice on road.

Yeah I agree, I would never track my car on Air... not my choice of setup for it but yes on Road use it's smooth and nice.

I've noticed the bad rep by some (many) people lol

Nice, this is a first for me! Haven't seen an M235 on air to date..

Had air on my MK4 GLI and it was great. The next owner didn't have the same words, and as the system got older, the problems wore him thin and he went back to static. Amazing what winter/salt driving can do to a system like that. Anyhow, kudos to you for doing it, I dig it!

Thanks man!

I haven't seen pictures of another m235i on air but there's probably one or two more around most likely!

I plan to give it good maintenance so things like what happened to the other owner of your MK doesn't happen to me and it's all smooth... I appreciate it very much, new wheels are coming soon also

Looks good! How much does an air setup cost?

My set up ran me about 3.8k for everything
Struts & Management... an installation would probably be another $900-1k dollars but a local shop that specializes in Air suspension hooked me up

Hope that answers your question man.

Local Air suspension shop contacted Air Lift Performance and they ordered everything so it wasn't me that communicated directly with them, I suggest you find a local shop that is a Authorized dealer for it and make them ask and get the info!

Alright, I'm selling my Airlift performance 3p full kit, struts, lines, tank, compressor and the air management for a f22 chassis about 10k miles on the whole kit everything works great, looking to go for a track build now that I've enjoyed the looks.
Also will be selling my Rotiform RSE 18in x 8.5 et35 wheels with tires 225/40 in front and 245/35 in rear both are in good shape with typical wear, it's a Florida car so very minimal rust, never seen snow. Looking to get 5k for the package I will separate but would be ideal to sell together.
Full Airlift kit - $3500
Wheels and tires - $1500
You can reach me at 651-210-3750
Located in Minnesota
