Bilstein b14 vs ST X/XA
Wondering which of these two coilover sets I should go with for my daily driver m sport 340xi (non edc).
A shop around me is selling B14 new for 2k CAD , and I’m seeing around $1800-1900 for the ST XA.
From what I recall Bilstein b14 isn’t dampening adjustable , but for myself who’s just doing this for looks will that truly matter? Also I’m in canada so coilover covers would be needed to prevent corrosion.
Can I run spacers in winter?
I got 437ms on my 340x drive currently on and they’re thick so no need. But my winter tire set is 403m’s which are thinner. I want to keep the same look, would you guys recommend 12mm and 15mm spacers front and back even during the winter?
Also how much should I pay for 4 spacers? What material?
Bc coil extreme low’s $1k cad used 340xi.
Someone is selling a set of BC coils near me for 1k cad (700usd). He had a 340x drive so do I. Is it safe for the car’s drivetrain to be that low? Does anyone have experience with these? Is it harsh?
Greek citizenship help (Toronto)
I went into the Greek consulate in Toronto end of May, where they signed a bunch of documents and such from my grandfather. My mom is in the works of getting her citizenship/passport but the next step is to book an e appointment and the website booking tool is down. They DONT respond to emails nor answer the phone. It’s driving me crazy how long this is taking. Does anyone have suggestions or can guide me what to do next? This is the sheet they gave us in May at the consulate. And we got my mother’s birth registration from service Ontario.
Cosmetic/aesthetic suggestions?
340x drive, OEM+ just with an exhaust.
Was thinking to lower it + side skirts next to finish off the aesthetics, any suggestions?

2013 328xi steering issue just popped up
Mechanic swapped my friends 328’s clock spring and now the steering is not turning the wheels. Any suggestions on what could’ve caused this? He can’t drive his car like this. Thanks
Help with lowering.
Looking to drop my 340 x drive 2016, but I’m trying to keep it under $1k cad.
Looked at different coilovers, majority are $1600 cad + install, which will leave me over 2k all in.
Also looked at springs like HR EIBACH DINAN CTS, which I can get fairly cheap but I know it isn’t great to have lowering springs in stock suspension. So I looked into Bilstein B6/B8 to pair with springs as well as F80 bump stops.
I don’t have EDC, and this is purely for aesthetic. It’s my daily I don’t track the car, just want to close the wheel gap.
What would you guys suggest I do? Feedback and opinions are welcome.
CTS lowering springs f30 xdrive.
Looking at a set of CTS turbo lowering springs for f30/f32. Does anyone have experience with these? How do they compare to Dinan HR Eibach, etc.
There’s a set on sale for like $300 cad, id probably run upgraded bump stops for these.
Lowering options 340xi.
Looking to lower the car and maintain decent ride comfort and quality. Trying to avoid spending thousands on coilovers + install (1500 cad lowest parts+600 install).
Is there any options for me otherwise? Besides HR springs as I’ve heard those ride like shit. Dinan, CTS ?
How do these 437m OEM wheels look? They were refinished by a shop, have stamping.
Was told $1800 CAD for the set, good deal?
Where to get F8X bump stops?
Looking to put some HR springs on my 340xi. Wanted to get the upgraded stops to have better ride quality and less wear. I see a set on ECS for $95 usd, is that a fair price for these ? Need all 4 of course.
Cleanable? Not even sure how this happened.
Has anyone here ever swapped seat modules?
Looking to swap interior with my friend who’s selling his car, does anyone have experience swapping the front seat modules and what’s the process like?
Swapping pre lci m sport seats into lci m sport interior, help.
My friend is giving me the red seats door cards and armrest out of his 2013 328, pre lci which he plans to sell soon. I was going to just swap everything over out of my lci 2016 340, but then I realized read online that connectors and wiring changed with lci.
The door cards and rear seats should be fine, but the front I don’t want to screw up.
So now I am worried if I do the swap that I will have airbag or heated seat issues. Can anyone confirm or help me out on this?
F30 interior seat/door panel swap.
My friend is giving me his red interior as he plans to sell his 328 m sport. I have a 340 m sport.
How easy is the job? Some places quoted me about $600 cad to do the full swap, is that a price worth paying for peace of mind and less hassle?
If anyone knows a spot near Toronto that can do this, or if you’ve done it before, let me know. Thanks!
