How much do the BMW F31 3 Series lowering springs drop the car?

On RWD models the drop is approximately 30mm at the front and 25mm at the rear. On xDrive models the front drop is approximately 30mm and the rear is approximately 20mm. All figures are versus standard ride height; M Sport models sit approximately 10mm lower from the factory, so the final result will be lower than on a standard-suspension car.

Are these BMW F31 3 Series lowering springs compatible with Adaptive M dampers?

Yes. The MMX springs are compatible with both standard fixed dampers and Adaptive M dampers. The progressive spring rates are calibrated to complement the factory F31 damper characteristics without introducing harshness or mismatched damping.

Do these fit the F31 xDrive as well as RWD models?

Yes. The MMX BMW F31 3 Series lowering springs fit both RWD and xDrive variants. The rear drop differs slightly between the two — 25mm for RWD and 20mm for xDrive — due to the different rear suspension geometry on all-wheel-drive models.

Will these fit my F30 Sedan or F34 Gran Turismo?

No. This kit is specific to the F31 Touring body style. It does not fit the F30 Sedan, F34 Gran Turismo, F35 LWB, or F80 M3. Separate spring kits are available for those models.

What is included in the kit?

The kit is sold as a complete set of four springs: 2 front springs and 2 rear springs. No additional hardware is required for installation.

Description

MMX Lowering Springs for F31 BMW 3 Series Touring

BMW F31 3 Series lowering springs from MMX Performance are engineered to deliver a precise balance of improved handling dynamics and a more assertive stance on the F31 Touring, in both RWD and xDrive variants, without sacrificing everyday ride comfort. Progressive spring rates drop the front by approximately 30mm and the rear by up to 25mm on RWD models (20mm rear on xDrive), giving the Touring a more planted feel, sharper turn-in, and reduced body roll while preserving the ride refinement the 3 Series is known for. Compatible with both standard and Adaptive M dampers, and suitable for M Sport suspension models, these springs are a direct-fit upgrade for the F31 with no modification required.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
