Last week I picked up my new (to me) 420d Gran Coupe. Even though it is the M Sport, because it is the xDrive, it has the higher suspension. Can the standard M Sport springs or similar be fitted to an xDrive car as although I love the car and the way it looks, I can't help be feel it would be even nicer if it was dropped another 10-15mm.

I had a 335d x drive touring a few years ago and had AC schnitzer replacement springs fitted. It transformed the handling and improved the looks but still gave a comfortable ride. The contact at ACS UK was called Lorcan. He put me in touch with a local BMW main dealer who was happy to fit them

No need for a dentist the xdrive models are blancmange like, a set of ACS springs will tighten it up nicely.

He'll sort you out.

Mine is a 435i but the ACS springs are better than the standard M Sport ones and only heard good reports of the change on a 435d X
