Hi Guys!

Just got the keys to our new apt, very excited :)

However, upon driving down under to the garage, it was scraping the middle under the car and I had to reverse back... tried to reverse down, same problem.
I am riding a 2007 Z4 Coupe with Eibachs.

Panicked yesterday and threw in the BMW original springs (car is non-m-sport, +25-isch mm) in the rear and voila! no problem. As you understand, the car looks a bit wild with different springs rear and front and I am now trying to figure out how to even out the lowering. Going to buy CSL 19s for the summer so it needs to be lowered, but can't be on full Eibachs, it needs up about 12-15mm all around.

Please help me to figure out a solution for this...

Eibachs and some kind of 15mm plates to up the car?
H&R's instead?
BMW M-sport springs will the fit?
Running on standard Z4M-springs? Will they fit a non-M?
Adjustable coilovers? Preferably not, good ones are kind of expensive and not worth the money for a non M car...
 
Msport srrings will make it -10mm lower than the SE springs and about 15mm higher than eibach if thats any use to you?
 
Sounds great, will call BMW and ask how much they want.
If the cars equipment list doesn't say "sport suspension" or "package" or something like that, its on full height, right?
 
Have you tried a couple of planks of tapered wood, this should be enough to lift the car as you drive over them.
It's an inconvenience but should get you in and out of the garage and you can keep your original lowered springs.

Or maybe something like this (just one set)

Can someone post up the part number for M-Sport springs please as this could also be of interest to me.
 
Hmm BMW says, witch ones you want, M-sport 1 or M-sport 2?
They have no more additional information, more than they have different article numbers.

M sport 1
31336760622 front
33536761926 rear

M sport 2

31336757781 front
33536760606 rear
 
Yes if the build sheet doesn't say sports suspension you should be on normal height, though BMW will be able to check using your VIN. As for 1 or 2 I have no idea im afraid
 
Chris: I wasn't planning on getting bigger wheels, just rims... maybe 19s with correct rubber size will be slightly bigger?
 
I would never drop my car without something like this, maybe its an option? http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=P75BZSyRSt8
