335i E93 Suspesion Mod?

CALWATERBOY · 09-09-2011, 12:30 PM

Contemplating M3 suspension parts for my ride, but search has come to naught re: anyone doing same, my model 3.

The question: Will M3 parts bolt onto my ride w/o issues?

Suspension mod thread for 335i vert?

There's a host of coverage on the topic. Look under "M3 bits" or "M3 front suspension". I've done my front M3 bit swap for the front and swapped in Velocity Motorsports linkages for the rear. Very happy with the outcome. Tischer and HP Autowerks offer this type of kits. Checkem' out

More importantly, why are you thinking to go this route?

Have LSD - now suspension improvements needed. Surprising that the need was immediately seen....with added precision, this ride's elevated more than a few notches, a keeper.

My question boils down to: Don't see specifics on E93 suspension mods. Now checking part numbers vs. hard top models for compatibility.

To think....was considering replacement with a Porsche. Kinda irritating that ~$5k needs to be spent after purchase to make a 335i shine, but that's the reality.

Zoom zoom!

My friend has the Hotchkis suspension brace for the rear and it seemed to have tightened his suspension for the rear...

I just went to their site and your right! I wonder why they discontinued it because I saw the brace being installed and compared to the OEM brace on the E93 it was so much better and lighter also. I guess there were not enough demand for it, but I am surprised

Exactly this..they would loss money if they continued to produce.

They do have a handle on E93 requirements. Will likely buy from them.

Wrong sub-forum...

As far as I know the E93 components are the same as the E92 with the exception of the spring rates and possibly the sway bar rates. Luckily they make E93 M3's, so you would jus t want the E93 parts if different from the E92
