Hello,

I have a beautiful silver 335 xi. Works great and love the 330 hp and 300 ft-lb torque.

However, what I am getting a little tired of (had it for 3 years now) is the really stiff suspension.

Any tips or suggested suspensions I can switch out to? More importantly, what would the repercussions be for doing such?

Thanks,

Terry

What size wheels and what tires are you running?

They don't really have stiff suspension in them from the factory, even the sport package XI, BMW typically puts slightly softer suspension in the XI model cars throught there product range...... Its more than likely the conditions of the roads where you live...

Get 16"rims and tires,soft sidewall such as CONTINENTAL EXTREME CONTACT-DWS,you should notice the difference in comfort. ps-look in owners manual for tire size recommended!

If you're still on runflats, thats going to be part of it too. The sidewalls on runflat tires are super super stiff.
