BMW 225m 19" rims + H&R springs

superdx · 06-13-2010, 02:06 AM

Looking to buy these in the near future, is the only place to get them from BMW HK? Any other shops that are able to get them cheaper?

I also want to lower my car a little bit as well, and the H&R springs look like they got the drop I want. Are these available for HK? These are what I am looking at: http://www.bmwpartswheels.com/bmw-su...rear-1502.html

dont get it from BMWHK! my friend got his bmw performance rims 18 for 3200 per rim, BMW quote them 25xxx! a lot of tire shops should be able to get them for you!

superdx · 06-13-2010, 06:09 AM

Thanks for the info, I was afraid that BMW HK would be the only store to carry them. Do any of you have a wheel/suspension shop that you guys regularly go to?

ny911 · 06-13-2010, 10:21 AM

Go for Coilovers la....

are you looking for lowering springs? make sure you got the right shocks. otherwise, the lowering springs will just kill your original shocks in 2 years time-frame!

I have a set of USED Eibach spring (For E90) sitting in the garage, not sure if it fits your car, anyway give me a shout if you are interested.

After doing some more research, looks like BMW Performance Suspension is a good choice...

Nice wheels.

Can u pls share the info. abt the price as well? thx

css · 06-17-2010, 12:27 PM

iirc, the performance suspension costs similar to a set of coilovers bor?

superdx · 06-18-2010, 12:31 AM

I think the prices I found on Google were roughly $20,000 HKD, and then of course labor etc. I think it includes springs, shocks and sway bars.

Which I guess is pretty high for just suspension, but for me I want to be able to have a good resell value on the car a couple years from now. Having BMW parts makes the price go up and easier to sell... I noticed whenever cars had "performance modifications" in Kowloon Bay... many people will not buy them, because they think the car has been driven too hard.

css · 06-18-2010, 02:23 AM

mods are not going to give you good resell value on the car!
the things you could add to increase value is probably some visual mod
such as a good looking bodykit
nice rims
exhausts
and BBK?
all the eye candy is important to attract buyers

but in the end..the value is not much..the best the have agood resell value is probably to keep your mileage low and keep it scratch-free and wait for a good buyer!

Turns out I had to get this done faster than I expected - my rear tire went flat and my front left also was losing pressure. Since I hate having my car in the shop more than necessary, I got wheels, tires and suspension done all in one go:

M6 replicas, Michelin PS2, Bilstein shock/struts/springs

so is it the b8 shock package? doesnt it normally paired up with H&R pr eibach sprigns?

car looks fabulous!

superdx · 06-22-2010, 08:39 AM

I actually have no idea what they put in... lol

Originally was going to go for the PSS10 coilovers, but didn't have it in stock, and I didn't want to run the M6 wheels without a drop... so just followed the guy's suggestions.

I went to the shop here, the guy was pretty helpful: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&hq=&...,0.016512&z=17

they installed the shocks for you too?

how much did they charge you?

superdx · 06-22-2010, 08:46 AM

$26,000 everything included, also traded in the 18" 335i wheels I had as well with the busted tires

me too! i parked at the 3rd floor, so i almost see your car everyday!
there're so many e9x....but not many of them have mods....i guess they just treat the 3ers as corolla....sigh

superdx · 06-22-2010, 10:31 AM

Yes, you would see my car every time you reach 2/F...

Lots of unmodded E90... actually there were 3 E92 in my area just awhile ago...

little_croco · 06-22-2010, 11:03 AM
