528i xDrive and ACS spring

saeba1 · 06-18-2012, 04:29 PM

Is it true that for 528 xDrive, ACS spring set only comes with the front set and no rear set?

I have 535i xdrive and came with all four springs. Im not sure about the 528 xdrive. Check this web site site. When u click price guide, it will tell u how many springs are coming. www.cecwheels.com

On the website, 528 xdrive kit only has the front kit. But 535 xdrive come with both the front only kit and full kit.

I am not sure if it was an unintentional omission.

You should call cec directly! And find out. They are the expert so they should know about this.

I think you are right. The CEC person I talked to check with ACS and they basically said some 528i xDrive has rear self leveling suspension. But from my research, it looks like it is only on F11 (and maybe F7).

Please update us as I am looking to buy a set myself and I was surprised to hear that also last week

I talked to a couple of the CEC reps. One confirmed that 528i xDrive Sedan doesn't have the self leveling rear suspension. My BMW dealership also confirmed this.
So you will need the front and rear spring kit.

According to the ACS parts list there isn't a kit for the F10 528.

If there isn't a huge weight difference between the 535 and 528 then i would try using the 535 springs. The 550's have a different part number because of the V8's extra weight up front.

That is what I am ordering. 528ix is about 200lb lighter than 535ix.
I figure that is close enough.

Which rims? The M5 replicas or the Forgestar CF5?
As you can see in my build thread, I have recently switched over to a new set of wheels and tires.

The M5s are low pressure cast replicas in non-staggered setup (4x19x8.5 ET35) with Goodyear LS2 runflats tires.
The Forgestar CF5 are in staggered setup (20x9F + 20x10R) with Hankook Ventus V12 tires.
I got them both from Alan************. Great guy to work with.

Ride quality with the LS2 are ok, but they simply don't compare to the Hankooks. The RFTs are noisier and harsher on the ride.
The new 20s combo feel much like my original 17" wheel/tire setup in terms of ride quality (but better handling due to the ACS).

Did you end up purchasing the 535 xdrive springs? Do you confirm the part#?
