Adaptive Suspension and Eibach

So here's the thing,

I went and dished out all that extra cash to get a nice adaptive suspension on my M135i.
Now i'd like to replace the OE springs with aftermarket but.....no!!!!

None of aftermarket brands make springs that match the adaptive suspension setup (they specifically note that it's not suited)

I hate to think I have to go and replace the whole suspension and loose the adaptive setting or dish out an extra 2.5k euro to get KW DDC that will come with the adaptive option...

Has anyone fit an aftermarket spring to an adaptive suspension?

Hi,
Eibach- and AC-Schnitzer-springs are matching with the adaptive suspension setup.
I have the adaptive suspension and Eibach springs - I'm verry happy with the combination!

Hi Harry120,

How much did those spring affect the ride. And did it drop the ride height?

Cheers

Hi,
the springs drop the car 25 mm/front and 15 mm/back.
In my opinion the car is a little bit more comfortable but more direct.
