Hello everyone. Finally Eibach is the first to introduce sping kit for the eDrive40. It is 30mm at the front and 25-30 at the rear.

Part code No is E10-20-053-01-20.

I already emailed Eibach in Germany and they confirmed it with the following restictions.

18	Without levelling control.
20	Except vehicels with 4WD.

Does any i4 has leveling control?

Soon it will be at their website too.

that must be a heck of a speed bump ..so far i only bottom up once as i went to fast over a speed bump...and i have already driven quite a lot

Didn't look all that, and I have gone over others (I'm at 8,500+ miles), but that one nailed me and frankly made me angry!

Bummer... My prior car was much lower than the pictures shown for the Eibach lowering kit for the i4, and yes it can be annoying to drive/maneuver steep driveways and bumps/humps (But I let my front lip take all the damage)...

However, this car just sits way too high in my opinion... (maybe I was too used to my prior F30, with a finger gap between tire and fender)

Same here with my E90 with sport suspension.
There.was not much more than a finger gap.

So this is all you need to order? No any extra parts? I also have m-sport

I am pretty sure I have the adaptive suspension, and that page says not suitable for adaptive suspension

Yep, that's all!
Dropped the car about an inch. Rear links will need to be adjusted accordingly to match front drop. (front wheel will have slight negative camber, but really unnoticeable)

Makes the car look more OEM + (I can barely fit 2 fingers between the gap now, instead of like 4)

And, already scrapped my aftermarket front lip... but the springs were worth it!

I'm just worried about the adaptive suspension part.

I ordered. Just haven’t to install. getting about $830 for install and alignment. Need to make sure to get the lights adjusted

If you're in SoCal, my guy installed for $300. Going to drive it about 500 miles before alignment, should be another $100.

Do you have to adjust the lights?

When you lower the vehicle, the lights should be adjusted according to a previous post here and a friend of mine who is a mechanic for them. I guess the lights cover a certain range based off the factory angle they’re set at. So lowering the car lowers the angle so your lights point lower.

I have not researched this though. This is my deduction from the conversation I had with him and from what I remember about a post on here. If someone here is more accurate, please enlighten us both.

$300 sounds too good to be true. Almost untrustworthy. But at least you got a huge deal

Yea, he was the cheapest and had done couple of i4's, so I just took it to him. Basically just him in a small shop so I guess there wasn't much overhead cost there.

and...Got it! I didn't think of factoring in headlight adjustment. The guy matched the rear drop as exactly with the front springs drop, measuring constantly with a ruler, so I just assumed I didn't have to adjust my headlights because there shouldn't really be a change in angle.

I'll go check my headlights against my garage door today, I may actually need to get them adjusted after alignment. Thanks for the tip.

No problem. As long as I’m pointing you in the right direction. Where is your guy located? Did you put up post install photos?

Well, that ain't an option for me so I'll hold off until some other people get the car lowered successfully with adaptive suspension. Keep us updated if all stays well with the springs!

Just curious, what issues would lowering 3/4 to 1 inch thru springs and smaller links cause on the dampening system?
Plus our cars are EDC, so it's electronically controlled.
I wouldn't worry about it, the springs and dampening system aren't even connected, more parallel each other.

What would be considered a successful lowering kit, if that kit still only comes with spring and links?

@Techwhiz1 certainly has adaptive on his M50.
