I'm ready to change my suspension and while I've taken the obvious into account,springs,dampers,i know there are a lot more parts but how much could I be looking at £££ wise if more needs to be changed.im looking at mtech from BMW but that's come back around 1700.would aftermarket systems be a better option .

you can get equivalent if not better from third party suppliers - original bmw use boge or bilsiten suspension which are readily available new or second hand - recommended springs are eibach - depends what sort of ride you want and what your car is

It's a cab ,it was originally a 320 but I had a 2.5 put in.having read Some previous posts I think it shares identical set up as a standard 325i ,so i thought the mtec would be perfect as its just a matter of putting new springs on etc.as I like to keep it as original just have a smooth crusie :cool: Who is the third party?
