Why the hell are the cab/touring springs so much more expensive than the normal ones??

have to handle more weight?

If that's all it is, then I'll go for the normal ones - the heaviest thing I'm going to carry in the back 99% of the time is my BMX

I was just wondering if the fitment is actually different, cant imagine it is though! Cant justify more than double the cost for a bit of extra spring rate at the back

good question, are they all the same fitment as im getting confused with this aswell

as my shell is a 320 but my engine is a 325, what do i use ?

If I was you, I'd go for cab specific. know that other parts like ARB's are cab specific. If you're lowering your car, you probably want less body roll so get the right bits!!!

(Cue clever e30 egg head to come and contradict me.....)

normal ones will push the back on the floor so to speak

Eibach do a good specific M spec height spring for the cab and yes they are also more expensive

At BMW shows this year Automac were selling 4 cylinder springs at £150 and Cab £175 I think, saloon would be in between those prices

Go for the correct spring for your car as for the price diff not worth the hassle...Apex do a good touring spring

Yeah I think I'll look at other manufacturers, £200 on four springs is a bit steep, lol

Apex, GMax and Spax all make springs for the 325 Touring for around £100, which is more realistic

Go 325i At least if you haven't upgraded other 320 specific parts, you're taking a step in the right direction!!!

you get what you pay for

and for a car thats no longer in production the you are going to pay a higher premium because sales are going to be limited

Cabs are a lot heaveir and rearer, thats way the springs cost more. They also will also have alot more inertia for the springs to deal with........
