Front Suspension Springs Question

Z4 REX said:Does anyone know if the front suspension springs from a 3.0 lt and the front springs from an m-tech suspension on a 2.5 lt be the same? Basically are the two compatable? :?
Provided they are either both manual or both automatic. It's all to do with with the weight of the vehicle.

Transmission weights won't make much of a difference in overall vehicle weight either.

Just comparing the part numbers listed in the 'Suplex' catalogue. All automatics have the same front spring part number across the different engine sizes which is different to the part number required for manual transmission. :wink:

Not necessarily.
It can be down to the suspension spec. So a std spec may be softer than a sport spec. The question related to comparing a 3.0 to a 2.5 M-Tech so potentially different. Easiest check is to look at the paint colours on the springs to see if they are the same.

I am aware of all that having had the wrong rear springs fitted to my Z4. :wink:
Springs for M sport suspension have blocks of green or grey paint on them.
