RE: D3 E90 New Springs Advice?

Post by JWoods » Fri Feb 18, 2022 6:39 pm

Hi all

Need to buy replacement springs for the rear axle of my 2011 D3 Saloon E90. Not too sure which ones are OEM or are acceptable for the car. Had a look on multiple websites and plugged in the vehicle reg nothing came up. Would ideally like to source the springs outside of going to BMW as they will skin me price wise.

I think eibach ones are the ones currently sitting on the car but honestly i'm not too sure. Any advice on brand / size (is that a thing?) of spring i should be going for?

Any advice appreciated!

Thanks,
J

Hi., Interested to know if you have an OEM Part number?, and what you ultimately had fitted?, as I too, wish to replace the coil springs on my rear axle.

Regards
Paul

The springs are standard BMW, note in the Alpina pdf for the D3 BiTurbo states:

“a) see BMW- spring table with SA704 (M Sports suspension)“

No part numbers given unfortunately, I’d assume that they will be either 320i or 325i MSport.

Hey,

Is this is still valid I have a full set of D3 Biturbo 2009 springs (M sport).

I was going to try and sell them but no interest so far, so if anyone can use them here just say and collect or pick up from a meet or something and you can have them.
