Coilover dilemma f10 Xdrive

samieh · 05-16-2020, 04:28 AM

So I have a 2011 550i Xdrive and I have Megan racing euro street 1 coilovers, I can't return them and I got messed up because the merchant told me they'd fit an Xdrive. So is there a way to make them fit? If so please give me some insight.

If not let me know if you are interested in purchasing them (brand new in box) (just opened the box to see what they looked like)

Any help is appreciated, I can't stand the wheel gap. I have wheels I'm in love with but I need to go lower so I can tie it all together especially because I don't have the m sport pack.

Thanks

So the vendor told you they would fit and now refuses to return them? Sounds awfully shady.

Yeah. Agreed. I've tried all I can do and now all that's left is to sell them or to see if they re able to be used although they are rwd spec

If you paid with PayPal you can file a claim

I paid with debit I've tried all I can unfortunately I wish there was a way to see if they could be modified to fit it seems like there shouldn't be much of a difference

The front coils will have a bigger fork over the axles.

Sorry I don't really follow, does that essentially mean it's not possible?

So theoretically I could make them work? Sorry I don't know much about suspension in all honesty

Nope won't work like Burrninja said

No it would need stock forks chopped and welded on new onew but at that point not worth it. Best off reselling and purchasing correct coilovers.
