They would physically fit but given the relatively substantial changes in weight / ratio between the two I could not say what kind of drop or ride quality would result.

Thank you for your feedback, I do recognize that the 330e/330e xdrive are part of a niche market but do you plan on officially offering lowering springs for either model?

Nothing is scheduled for the foreseeable future and nothing is planned for the platform that I am aware of unfortunately.

Had the springs, handling kit and 15 mm spacers installed! Thought the spacers would push the wheels out more but looks prefect.

Nice! I also have a 330i M Sport, getting the Dinan springs and handling kit tomorrow.

Hows the ride been so far? improved handling?

Ride is great honestly. Sometimes you can tell it's a lowered car but most of time feels stock but I think it actually feels better most of the time. Handling is better as well. Haven't really tested that much yet.

Any word on the m340 xdrive version? I am planning on buying the second they come out.

Installed Springs + bumpstops last night on my m340i.
Overall, im really satisfied. I have the static (non adaptive) suspension and the ride quality is almost identical, but with less pitch/dive/body-roll.. plus, i have ample ground clearance.

Good job guys.

To my knowledge we are still working on getting an M340i xDrive in the shop for development.

If you can't get a vehicle lined up before July 25th, let me know. I'm planning on visiting my father in Alabama so I can make a pit stop and drop the car off for 7-10 days if that's enough time to work out a solution. And I'll probably go ahead and ask you to do the monoball kit while I'm there. Hit me via DM if you are interested in setting it up.

Does anyone have any pictures of the Monoballs either during install or installed? I am trying to get a better understanding of where they are on the car.

I’ve had the Dinan Springs for a little over 2 months and I couldn’t be happier.

None. No car. Was a rumor we may have a car visit at the end of the month but not sure if that ever fully came together to actually be scheduled or not.

It probably does fit and work well. Dinan hasn't been able to get a car with xDrive to test and validate. Until they've been able to do their testing, they won't support it with warranty.

What v_ckash623 said. There is no doubt the springs will physically fit and "work." What we could not say is what the resulting drop would be or if the ride quality is acceptable. We also wouldn't have any metrics as far as spring rate/stiffness to tout and all that jazz.

Yeah sorry about that. Spoke to Sophie and there was a scheduling conflict. Not enough time for the R&D side to get things lined up. Reminds me, I will be out there again last week of October. We might have another chance. I’ll hit up Sophie now and see if we can get it set up.
