Threaded suspension from BMW E46 to Z4

Post by ethi » Thu Dec 06, 2018 8:26 pm

Hello,
I apologize for my English because it is not good.
I have one question whether the threaded suspension from the BMW E46 will fit the BMW E85 Z4?
I ask because in Poland the suspension from E46 is half cheaper than to Z4.
Has anyone at Z4 suspension from E46!?

Hi there Ethi, welcome to the forum.

I do not know the answer to your question sorry, but I am sure someone will be able to tell on here.

A few people have done this in the past and the shocks do physically fit. However as the e46 is heavier the dampening won't be matched to a z4

Gentlemen, I mean, whether the physical suspension dedicated to E46 will fit without a problem.
And it's great how someone would say in this topic who has this suspension installed in their Z4.

Thank you for welcoming me. :thumbsup:

The most recent guy I remember doing this was Jamiez4. It looked terrible because he had it stupidly low but they did physically fit and there's no reason you couldn't do the same with them adjusted to a reasonable height. It's just that the dampening will be incorrect
