WANTED - set of standard OEM coil springs for E90 M3

Hi guys,

Got a RWC issue. My springs are too low according to the guys at vicroads.

Need to get my hands on a standard set of springs for front and rear.
If you have a set sitting around - please let me know.

Ideally be somewhere in VIC, but might consider collection elsewhere depending on the cost.

cheers,
Shanan

Thanks for the link. My understanding was they are different. Happy to be corrected though?

Thanks for the offer.
I ended up sorting this via the M sport group on facebook.
A fella in Sydney is kindly sending me some E90 non EDC springs.

I did some reading and was hard to clarify 100% if the E92 springs are the same as the E90 springs. From what I can tell, I think they are different spring rates?? The springs are interchangeable from what I can find out, but I think the springs maybe slightly softer or harder depending on the model.

Mine has EDC and I am not quite sure what the diff is between non-EDC and EDC springs on the E90?

Does anyone know??

I have read through some forums and apparently BMW do not have part numbers for the springs. I scrolled through pictures and noticed the springs are labelled though. M3 X2, M3 X3 and so on. I think the X2 and X3 are references for the spring rate, but not 100%.

Someone here prob knows more than me.

Hopefully there is no huge difference between E90 EDC and NON-EDC spring rates though. Will see.

Hey mate

I know it's off topic, but what is the m sport group name? I just tried searching for it and can't seem to locate it!

I would love to find an easier way to talk with other M3 owners in Sydney via WhatsApp or something...

There's a strong and very active Facebook group called "BMW E9X M3 V8 Owners club". Worth joining. Members all over the world.
