Finally lowered my Mineral White M340i xDrive with AC Schnitzer springs

After 7 months of waiting finally got my M340i xDrive lowered with AC Schnitzer's springs (thanks for the lead from "projekt7"). I have also added 13mm spacers at all 4 corners.

Enjoy the pics.

Looks amazing! Do you have fixed or adaptive suspension?

It has adaptive suspension.

Ride is the same as stock. Honestly I can't really tell any difference except the lower ride height makes it more "sporty' feel.

I'm considering to drop mine on AC Schnitzer springs as well, plus I have the same wheels. Thanks for posting these pics. Your car is sitting real nice. How low did you go with the drop? It doesn't look like it is down all the way yet. How do you like the 13mm spacers? Are the wheels well flushed with the fenders? From the pics, it still looks like it's possible to move the wheels further outwards. Thanks in advance.

I feel like this seems lower than projekt7 no? Is it just the black wheels? Either way looks awesome.

I didn't measure the before and after but I think it should be about an inch of drop. I don't really want to drop any further to be honest. My F30 with the Dinan springs sit really low and the ride suffered as a result.

As for the spacers I think even 15mm should be fine but then it also depends on the tire as well. For example if you have the Michellin PS4S then it may look more flush. I currently have the Continental DWS and it is not as "fat" as the PS4S.

Hard to tell as I haven't seen his in person. However, looking at some close up pics from projekt7 I think the drop should be similar.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm getting mine installed this coming Friday. Stoked!

Looks pretty nice! I really like the interior color matched with that black and white.

How do You like the ride after more than a year? I'm considering to change standard springs for AC Schnitzer on adaptive suspension but I'm concerned about ride quality.

Looks good on the AC Schnitzer springs - i nearly fitted these to my F31, but went with eibachs in the end.

My new M340d Touring should arrive in a few weeks and i'm considering the schnitzer springs for this.

The drop looks perfect, and pleased it doesnt stiffen up the ride too much!

Hey there, I have the G21 M340i xDrive with adaptive suspension. I originally had lowered with the AC springs. I switched over to Vogtland lower springs after 8months, and am VERY datisfied with Vogtland. The handling is much more spot on through turns and corners, MUCH less body roll, no more nose dive when braking, handles city roads MUCH more comfortable and the confidence when driving at high speed. It lowers abit more than the AC though.
