Reducing the body roll on the F10 LCI 530d

AdiSinghV12 · 09-26-2015, 11:36 AM

What all can be done to reduce the body roll on the F10 LCI 530d? I have planned a full coilover suspension but before that will be after some time so what else can be done to reduce the bodyroll by a good amount? A difference that can be felt even to the people who sit in the car?

Coilovers and thicker sway bars will help. What suspension does the car have?

There's even a stabilizer bar if u wanna take it a step further

The car has stock 'rough road suspension' which is 158mm high but I'm planning to change to street comfort hoping it would improve the handling, steering response and reduce the bodyroll.

Really considering the strut bar... can someone recommend which one is the best for a F10 LCI 530d?

i would take a very long pause about doing a coil-over and lowering the suspension on the F10 in India mate,
if you do live around the north India and do any amount of driving i would seriously reconsider . i have driven a large number of cars including rally cars up north and the rough road setup of the BMW is one of the most comfortable rides there is especially if you, like me are chauffeur driven in India!
anyway the chances of doing the kind of chenanigans that can be pulled on european roads are defo not possible .

you can sharpen the handling with the wiechers strut bar that you can order from eBay and i have used that to good effect on my F11 535d

did that strut bar hit your hood by chance?

yes it fit but the first time you put the bonnet down is a bit of a scary moment

Which bar did you go with and chime in on what u mean by first time

dockishen · 11-10-2015, 08:00 AM

ok so i went for the wiechers bar and i was told by the dealership that it would not fit , the first time i closed the bonnet after installation was a bricking time .
