B8 or B6 verification

apexxx6789 · 05-15-2020, 12:11 AM

2008 335XI with sport package. Just want to verify that the stock suspension is not lowered and i should go with B6 strut replacement.

Should i still go with B6 if i get Dinan Performance Spring Set 1/2" drop front and 0 in back?

Thanks

Dinan suggests the koni yellows

Thanks, makes sense since i only seen knoi struts on their website.

"As for the 335xi sport package issue brought up earlier: Sorry to get back so late with this info. This is what the dealer found out after 2 weeks of contention. There isn't a stiffer suspension added with the sport package, only the staggered tires, and interior changes. However, all 335xi models have stiffer suspension added. The springs are the equivalent of the 335i Sport package mods. They need the stiffer spring to support the AWD system. This is the first time the service and sales department concurred on the issue. There was some serious banter and research done over tha last 2 weeks between these guys. Nobody knew the answer until they called. Hope this clears things up. Our little forum discussion really stirred things up at the dealer, ha ha."
