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. |

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

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