FS: Lowering springs from a 2002 E46 xiT

Used springs from my 2002 325xiT. PO installed these on the wagon I just bought. Not my style and not really practical for where I drive; too many bumps and the roads are too topologically interesting. So, I replaced with stock springs. PO said these came from Bav Auto, which makes me think they are something like Bav Auto part number SK E461 416. I have included photos of the part numbers printed on the springs...if you have a better idea about what these are feel free to let me know.

They are not pristine. Peeling paint and some rust/grease are evident. See photos for actual condition. They do make for significantly tighter handling and a sporty ride. If I could have this handling and not bottom out in the winter where I live, i'd be tempted to keep them.

I think $100 USD + actual shipping is fair. If this is too low, feel free to offer me more.

Any interest? If my price is off, let me know. I am not using these and would be happy to have them enjoyed by someone.

Did these lower the car any?

Yes they did. Will see if I can dig up some photos, but my rough estimate was ~1.5" lower with these.

Thanks. I'm trying to find out if wagon springs will work on a sedan.

Everything I'm finding point to them not fitting. That's unfortunate

Not the best photos, but should give you an idea. Note that my snow tires (on the stock height version) are on smaller rims but have a higher profile than my Summer tires (on the car in the lowered version).

With lowering springs, as are for sale in this thread:


With stock height springs:

Pictures dont work

Sorry, did that do the trick?

Yup. Thanks

Still available?

Still available.

A little more info for people who might be interested in these. I just got a shipping quote for sending them to CA (from my location in VT, so CONUS shipping should be this or less):

UPS Ground is $37
FedEx Ground is $40
USPS Priority is ~$60

Springs are all packed up and looking for a home.

learned a bit more about the difference between stock (OEM) springs for sedans vs tourings. It looks like the stock touring spring is ~0.6" longer than the stock sedan spring. I do not have an aftermarket sedan version of the springs I am selling here for comparison. My guess is that since they are lower than stock on a touring they would be lower than stock on a sedan but perhaps not by as much as a sedan sport spring? Nonetheless they would likely be workable on a sedan.

Still available?
Would send to Mexico?
