Pre-LCI 530e X-Drive Lowering Spring Option

I want to go ahead with some Eibach lowering springs on my 18 M-sport 530e X-drive (non-VDC) and I'm struggling to figure out which springs to go with. When I do a parts lookup on ECS tuning it shows the following sku: E10-20-038-02-22. Reverse looking that part number up on eibach's site shows it only fits the 540i x-drive and 550i x-drive.

Another member who has a LCI 530e x-drive used a SLIGHTLY different part number sku: E10-20-038-01-22. Reverse looking that part number shows fitment to all cars but 530e x-drive. Frustratingly enough realOEM.com does not have the G30 LCI parts catalog uploaded so I cannot cross check the suspension part numbers to confirm if anything changed suspension wise between the pre-LCI or LCI 530e x-drives.

I've tried reaching out to eibach directly and still awaiting a response. Any help or guidance on this matter? I'm getting sick of the 4x4 look of my car and want some sort of drop.

Would you argue with the extra weight of the E-drive components you would get more?

I think weight affects how the springs settle I don’t think they should make a difference on overall drop but I am no expert, if you run the Eibach (02-22) you’ll probably want to run 285/35 & 255/40 for less wheel gap and more comfort ! Just wish front was a slight bit lower by day by day I am more happy with it

I am running upsized profile tires on my style 759 wheels. What springs are on that picture you posed as I think that looks great? I'm not looking for too much of a drop, just something to close the x-drive 4x4 wheel gaps.

Hi everyone!

I have a 2019 BMW 530e G30 and I have mounted today eybach pro kit E10-20-038-01-22.

On the rear height is perfect. On the front, the car stays too high.

Anyone with the same problem?

Thank you,
Ruben Ferreira

Possibly a stupid question, but are the springs on the correct ends?
