340i with H&R Super Sport and H&R trak+

F31_330i · 02-22-2016, 03:18 PM

I'm new to this forum, so i thought I'd introduce myself. I've owned 4 e30's in the past and a year ago started as a BMW Genius, where i quickly decided i needed a bmw that wasn't 20 years old. As soon as the 340i was announced I placed my order for a Mediterranean Blue RWD 6mt with nav, heated front seats and a painted trunk spoiler. Coming from past cars that were no newer than 2006, i didn't need many options.

I took delivery in November and drove the car a few months, but since i cant never leave a car stock i ordered H&R Super Sport springs and 15mm wheel spacers. It was a night and day difference in how this car drives. The ride is amazing, possibly better than stock, and it handles better than anything I've owned or driven.

I took some time yesterday to get good quality pictures of the car after the springs were installed. There is no rubbing whatsoever with this setup, ~-2 degrees of camber in the rear and -0.6 degrees in the front and it all fits perfectly.

Thanks, I think it came out almost perfect for how i want it. Perfectly drive-able it sits nicely.

In the summer sometime I'll be adding some stickier tires and a jb4.

Do you mind me asking where you bought the springs from?

Thank you

Thank you

I ordered them from tire rack through my dealer. It's not the cheapest place to get them but it was cheaper with my discount.

I was worried it would be too low for comfortable daily use, but I'm happy I went with these over the H&R sports. I've had plenty of very low cars and had no desire to make this as awful to drive as those were

Love the color!!

Fortunately I did, I had a service advisor at work run my vin # and the recall didnt show up

Thank you! Though looking through the forum every day and staring at this 340 m sport on our showroom floor makes me greatly regret not ordering this car with m sport

Love the color! Can you still fit 4 people though?

otay · 03-04-2016, 11:35 AM

Congrats and welcome. Want to do the same springs and spacers on my '14 335 Sportline. Also one of my favorite colors (bought mine off the lot). Looks sweeeet!

What interior do you have? Also, did you add the black grill? I did add that to mine, and am thinking about changing the whiskers to black, too.

Yep 4 people still still fit just fine! I'm thinking of straightening out the rear camber but it will most likely rub if i do that.

I have a black interior with the ash grain trim w/ metal inlay. I added the grilles and i was thinking about doing all black trim outside but i like how the silver window trim goes with the "whiskers". Plus the silver breaks up the front bumper a little bit which i like.
