e46 b3 3.3 touring coil spring sizes eibach

Post by rc944 » Wed Aug 25, 2021 1:22 am

can anyone help me with part nos as realoem cannot. i need to replace all 4 coil springs with either some eibach or sachs units on a temporary basis

i can see 2 options here but not sure which ones are correct eg 228 or 238mm length

would these work for the front ie 342mm

The springs are a 7-digit part number which means they’re a unique ALPINA part and as such you won’t find the exact spec/part available aftermarket

Think I've got all front and rear springs for a B3 3.3 sitting in my garage from when I renewed mine a couple of years ago. I'll have a look.

Sorry, hadn’t realised you were looking for aftermarket options. You’ll find that BMW used a couple of different spring specs dependant upon how many options the particular car had. RealOEM will just say refer to spring tables I’d expect.

May I ask the outcome?… I’m also searching for some replacement springs for my 2001 B3 touring.
Thanks
