Hi all
As above really, would there be any issues fitting the petrol springs onto a diesel?
Thanks in advance

The spring rates will be different and the car might sit lower than expected. Handling might be affected too.
If you found some springs from a 330i that might work as the 3.0 petrol engine is roughly the same weight as the 2.0 diesel engine.

Personally I would source the correct springs for my car.
