    E90 335 sits higher than other 335s.

    How many ride heights did the e90 335 come in?
    From my 335 and 2 others of my friends, mine sits a lot higher.
    Mine has winter package, 1 is 6psd, non winter and the other has no winter package, not sure what packages they have.

    1 of them has the same wheels as me and his is a lot lower, this is the non winter AT 335.

    The 6spd does not sit as low as that one, but it still lower than mine.

    Did winter package come with taller suspension?

    I think the only differences would be sport package vs non-sport package.

    Although, are any of the cars xdrive? I think they typically sit just a little higher.

    My 08 335xi (e92) was considerably higher than 08 my 335i (e93).

    The e92 had the winter package as well, while my e93 does not.

    So, two variables... doesn't narrow it down much.

    There is no "winter package". Anyone with a separate set of wheels/tires for winter should have the same overall diameter as it's summer tires/wheels.

    There are only: Regular, Sport (MSport same), and xDrive. All come with the wheels/tires that are the same overall diameter, no matter what size the wheels are.

    I believe the winter package he's referring to is the "cold weather package", which includes heated seats and steering wheel, and I think heated washer nozzles, and headlight sprayers as well.

    But it has no effect on suspension.

    Thanks White94RX - Cold Weather Package... my 2010 328xi Wagon had all those options. Quite nice.

    Both of my xi (328 and 335) with Sports package rode notably higher than my 335i Sports package Convertible or 330i Sports Package.
    I vote, but do not know, that that xi are riding with more clearance.
    My 335i Convertible hits things on the ground that newish Corvet's clear. A little too low for my taste. (DD)

    Thanks everyone for the replies.

    i believe one is a sport model and the other is a non sport.

    the non sport sits way lower, so the previous owner must have put some lowering springs on it.

    My my car is non sport and the front looks higher than the rear. I am running some M parallels on it and the front wheel gap is hideous. If it was an inch lower in the front, it would look 10x better.
