F10 535 Eibach lowering springs

Just installed some Eibach lowering springs on this clean F10 535.
Simple install. Nice drop with no rubbing issues.

It looks like a good drop, but hard to see because side views are blurry

Thanks. It is.
Doesn't drop as low as H&R springs would.
I'll try to get some clearer pictures

Hi,

I am looking for a spring setup for next summer that would be a bit less agressive than the H&R. The Eibach seems to be a good candidate.

Was the 535I, Xdrive or RWD. Seems to be difficult to find teh Eibach Xrive version in USA/Canada and mostly only available through Europeen vendors...

This vehicle was RWD
I did a search and only could find H&R that fit your XDrive model.
If you are using the factory BMW wheels you will still have good clearance. If you have larger aftermarket wheels then the drop may be too much with H&R

From my research look like Eibach part number for Xdrive is either

E10-20-022-10-22_371 which drops about 30mm (1.2 inch) Front & Rear
E10-20-022-04-20_367 which drops about 30mm (1.2) front & 25mm Rear (a bit less than 1 inch).
But I have found this in UK not USA or Canada so it might not be available to us...

What was the drop claimed by by Eiback for that RWD 535I?

Some aftermarket brand "knock off" BMW rims.
It is a clients car of mine. I only installed the lowering springs for him.
