I known of Dinan and AC, but I was wondering if there were any big name tuning companies for BMW, especially in regards to suspension?

 

Vishnu is tuning the new 335i twin turbo engine. Nothing with suspension though.

 

KW Suspension, Eibach, H&R, Koni, UUC Motorwerks
All make suspension set-ups for BMW

Rogue Engineering makes suspnsion peices.

What in particular are you looking for?

 

Springs/Struts/Sways. Basically just killing the time between now and when I take the leap for the 335i. I'd definitely rather have the biturbo engine over the m3's upcoming v8, but i'm trying to see how to make up the difference in driving dynamics. Comptech has spoiled me.

 

Hope you didnt think Comptech prices were high....

Plus a stock 335 will outhandle any comptech TL/CL

 

Hmm, well if you want to mod your vintage 2002, you can try ireland engineering.

 

Haha i'm quite aware that it will outhandle a Comptech TL, I just want to have the best handling I can get for my car. You know what i'm saying? I've never been much of an M3 worshipper. So I just want to make sure I can have the M3 beat on every base I can. And yea, you're right, the prices will be insane. But at least I can get 75hp from a chip for $1300 bucks instead of $5000 for a comptech supercharger that gives my 2nd gen 40hp

 

Real Bmw's have round taillights

 

TC Klein makes good stuff, but it's on the pricey side.

Ground control makes nice setups that you can pair with Koni DA's or with some AD shocks (but need to be rebuilt every so often.)

KW also makes tons of stuff for the BMW's.

If you are looking for a decent set of coil-overs that offer a good compromise between performance and price, go with the Bilstein PSS9's. I just took them off me 328is and it's a great setup. You can also adjust the ride quality and height. You only have one adjustment knob, and the dampening rates are matched to the springs, so you can't really do any boneheaded things like mismatch the compression to the specific surface.

There are also companies like Ohlins, and Moton which make some really nice track setups for the BMW's, but come at a high price.

I would stay away from the no-names or off-brands as there is usually not too much support offered from some companies.

When it comes to suspension, you really have too many options when it comes to BMW. The key is to find something that will work well with your driving style and what you plan to do with the car.

I have tons more to say if you want to know, but I just don't want to bore everyone here.
