it doesnt say wat there off! need to ask wat there off to be able to tell.

if its off a 6 cyl then it will raise the front too much and be to hard



they look chuncky to me i would say 325.

Thanks for your help, i think they are from a 325, so your right i guess they will be too hard, and raise the front end.

I haven't looked at the item on eBay, but if it's any help to you, MTech front springs for the 318iS are the same part number for the 325i Sport. I have checked this several times and it seems that as far as BMW are concerned, it doesn't matter whether the front springs are for a 4 or 6 cylinder car. Rears are definately different on Tourings and convertibles though.

If you check 318iS, the part numbers ending 043 and 046 are the ones listed.

Hi,

Thank you very much for all your help, it seems it wont fit, but anybody with a 325i should check it out, because its cheap at the moment.

Many thanks,
:cool:
