H & R springs HELP!

Do e92 328i coupe springs fit a 335i e92 coupe ?

I have a good deal for springs coming off a 328 coupe but for some reason I've been checking several websites and it says it won't fit a 335i coupe

Quick Feedback would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

im not 100% sure either way. but the spring rate will be different so the height would be differnet from a 328 to a 335 so if they do fit it would probably be lower and possibly handle shitty.

for OEM springs, they differ.

but for H&R sport and race springs, theyre the same part #'s for e90/92 non x-drive models.

if you're that paranoid, dont buy it. just buy brand new ones that are marked for "e92 328i rwd" and you'll never have to think about it again.

I just installed H&R's on my car- that's why I chimed in. The part number I used for my E90 N54 was 50490-4. For an E92 the P/N is 50490-3.

Part#50490-2 claims to be suitable for a 328i e92 and Part#50490-3 claims to be suitable for a 335i e92
What doesn't make sense to me is that I thought aside from certain things like brakes, turbo, transmission...I would have thought suspension stayed the same
Between the 2

Springs

All of these cars have different spring rates depending on the model and the package. The way I understand it is if you were to put my springs(50490-4) on a 328i w/o sport suspension(ZSP) it will sit lower b/c of the shocks and struts.

They all must have a different spring rate because the H&R part numbers are different!!
