I have a 325 convertible. I am planning on upgrading the suspension and lowering the car a little. I would be obliged for any advice.
Thanks
Joe

I've got Eibach springs and Boge Mtech spec. shocks - very happy with it, but I'd be interested to try the Mtech lowered springs.

I put a set of AVO springs on mine and left the shocks for the time being.

Very happy with the handling. Slightly sharper turn-in.
Cars looks good and doesn't scrape over things - AVO say it will lower by 25mm all round, but mine has ended up nose-down Hartge-style; looks like this...

IMHO you don't want to go any lower than this - don't forget M-tech only lowers by 15mm, and we all agree that the BMW Motorsport division know what they are doing for handling on normal roads.
