F11 - Wheels 312 and lowering springs

Hello everyone.

I'm from Belgium so please excuse my English.

I am happy to join your forum.
I have a BMW 525d F11 12/2010.


I'm looking wheels type 312 in BMW 20 "or replicas (not found in Belgium)

I also wanted to know how a lowering because of my F11, I have springs in the front but not the back so I do not know how to belittle the back (I do not want to change shock absorbers )



If you can help me?


thank you

The back suspension from an F11 wagon is air loaded and thus lowered through a computer at your dealer.

And about your second question, I never seen the BMW312 wheels in replica.
I don't think they are made in replica.
You will have to invest in a OEM set of wheels i'm afraid.

Regards from Belgium,

Frederick

You're welcome.
H&R and others works with some kind of turnbuckle system.
I'm not sure yet if I will lower my car or not, still haven't recived my car so let's wait
till I get it first ;-)
I will probably go for ACS, think H&R gonna be too low for me and will lose too much comfort...

You can probably buy it at your BMW dealer or you can buy it on the AC schnitzer website and let it install in an other garage who is able to do...

I know that DAVO in Tongeren is the official importer of ACS parts in Belgium, you can let it install there.

Nice! You'll love these on your car, especially with a lowered stance.
