Show original supplier description
The H&R Lowering Springs are engineered to provide a sportier stance and improved handling for the BMW 3 Series E46 Sedan and Cabrio models produced between March 1998 and 2005. These premium springs are manufactured in Germany and are designed to lower the vehicle's ride height by 35mm at the front and 20mm at the rear. This suspension upgrade is specifically intended for Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) E46 models, including diesel engine variants, and excludes M-Technic packages. They are also noted as being suitable for models equipped with a front lifter system. The precise lowering rates are intended to reduce the car's center of gravity, which can lead to sharper turn-in, reduced body roll during cornering, and a more aggressive aesthetic. While generally all necessary installation hardware is included or original parts can be re-used, it is always recommended to consult with a professional if you are unsure about the installation process. This specific part, with the number 29485-1, is not compatible with Coupe or Compact E46 models. The product imagery provided may be generic and intended for visual reference, so it's always best to confirm the exact contents if you have any doubts before purchase.
