xDrive and ACS lowering
My 530d xDrive is lowered with ACS lowering springs.
My car has adaptive drive. I drove about 500km's so the springs are settled. In the front the car dropped 20mm and in the rear 30mm. Here are some pictures i took with my oldtimer Blackberry.

Love the anti-rake (front bit higher than back)
Gives a more dignified yet lowered look. I believe it eliminates the problem of speed bumps, and the angle lifts the front even more than the stated drop. |

Hi
Do you have the exact part nr for the ACS springs fitted to this car ? ACS states that the spring set for my car have the number 3130210760 I also have a 530d m-sport drive, (however a 2014, with the stock none m-sport suspension), but yours seem to sit much higher the other f10`s fitted with acs springs. I am trying to decide if I should go with the ACS springs Thanks |

You can find the current part numbers for ACS springs here. Here is a gratuitous picture of my F10 xDrive on ACS springs.

[QUOTE=cdmulders;23558737]I have also noticed that some older ACS springs did not lower the car as much as newer ones, and that perhaps a design change was implemented. My ACS springs, purchased in 2016, lowered my xDrive about 1.5" in the front, and 1.2" in the rear.

I'm using the listed springs for front and rear, and the fronts are definitely different from the rear. The ride is as good as OEM, but it is a bit different. You do feel road imperfections a bit more, particularly in the back seat. The handling is more responsive but the ride is still smooth and relatively comfortable. I think the springs use a progressive rate, because when I load up the car with people and stuff, it does not sink as much as it did with the original springs, so I don't worry too much about road roughness (within limits, of course) when I'm loaded.
