Hi all and thanks having me .
First time posting here .
Own a 325i 1988 touring and just finish engine restoration with the help of a very professional guy from this group “ Xworks “
Now i am after suspension kit , B12 with some lowering springs . Or any other recommendations?
Can you please help me with the parts number for B8, B12 and for the springs . Or your experience with this option or any other suspension set up that will fit to a touring .
I would like to be a bit sporty feeling and lower just a bit .
Thank you for reading this and any info will be much appreciate .

You are getting confused with your numbers :D B8 is a shock absorber B12 is a kit of 4 x B8 shock absorbers and matching Eibach springs.

The B12 pro kit is all you need and has been tried and tested

Just look onlne for the "B12 pro kit", if you can wait it is still cheaper to get it from the German parts suppliers than you will see them listed second hand in the UK especially if you wait for a good discount to be listed

46-000163 is for the higher axle load (which I would use on the 325i touring)
46-000101 is for the lower axle load
