Hello mate, how you doing?
Yeah had one on the 35i & having done back to back drives with that & the stock one my butt dyno told me it felt a little more lively with the K&N. Would have changed it a while ago if it wasn’t such a faff but as I’ll be doing a few service items shortly thought I may as well drop a K&N in it.

G31
Hey everyone. Bought this G31 530d a week ago, haven't got any good pics yet. Before had E46 330d coupe, really good car, but needed a upgrade and a second car. Super happy about the purchase. Some photos are with the old owners number plates.
Cheers everyone. Last edited by Nickis99; 01-29-2024 at 02:42 PM.. |

You seem to like black cars PS: are you also registered in the German g30-forum? |

Finally I got my Performance Parts installed I bought end of last year during Black Week.
Really like the result, it looks more sporty but it's not too aggressive for a wagon. Last edited by Perplexitivity; 02-02-2024 at 06:33 AM.. |

Which springs did you choose? I installed the Eibach Prokit 1 year ago and am very satisfied with the comfort and the vehicle height – not too low, but noticeable lower than before.
Can also recommend the AC Schnitzer springs (some friends got them installed), but these are almost the same springs as from Eibach, since AC Schnitzer has Eibach producing them. |

Yeah if I do end up lowering I’ll go with the AC Schnitzer kit

I can tell you that with the Eibach Prokit springs and Performance front spoiler I have a ground clearance of 15cm. There is still enough space to easily drive into parking garages

The problem here is speed humps that rise from 25 to 100mm, not really an issue with the G31 as is but I don’t wanna have to be creeping over them, I had enough of that in the e92 35i, which had a 40mm drop all round, handled very nicely but was a real pita when it came to speed humps

Alscoob: I've mounted 10/12 Eibach spacers, you are right. In Germany you are allowed to drive these spacers without any conditions. If you use 15mm spacers, you have to take care, because you need to install ugly plastic covers on the rear and have to go to the vehicle inspection center.
