Suspension refresh…..

Hi folks,

I’ve recently carried out some work on my recently acquired (high mileage) E89.

Although no issues were present, I have recently replaced the battery, 6 spark plugs and 6 ignition coils. I’ve also purchased 4 new Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetric 6’s.

The last thing I want to do is refresh the the shocks and springs.

It is an M Sport model, and when I bought it the listing highlighted it had the M-Sport suspension deleted as an option as new.

I double checked on mdecoder and that seems to confirm this (see attachment).

Does that mean I can just go ahead and order standard shocks and springs, and doesn’t require any specialist adaptive stuff?

This is the last work I’m planning to do other that the routine servicing requirements.

Thanks in advanceIMG_4299.jpeg
 
Yep - there are 3 suspension options.

Standard (what you have)
MSport - stiffer and a bit lower
MSport adaptive - adaptive & a bit lower

Fantastic, thank you!

Whilst I am here, does anyone have any recommendations? I’m just looking for parts reasonably priced rather than best of the best.

Thanks in advance.
 
This happened to mine last week.25-12-06 13-28-18 4797.jpg

As the car is 15 years old think I'll replace all 4 corners springs and shocks, but as I need to stick to a budget was looking at this :

Have quoted £440 to install - not sure if that is a good price. Tempted to have a go myself (any excuse to buy more tools!). Any thoughts?
