BMW Spring & Shock Packages (BMW Performance and More) for BMW 3 Series E46 (1999-2005)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

These suspension packages consist of H&R Springs combined with Bilstein Sport shocks and struts. This combination works exceptionally well on street-driven cars when coil overs are not available or not desired. These springs and shocks will lower the ride height, firm up the suspension, decrease bodyroll, and provide better handling. There's almost no downside save for a slightly firmer ride.

A shock/spring package is a direct replacement for the existing shocks, struts, and springs in your car. Unlike coil overs, there are no adjustments to be made or complicated mechanisms to use and the parts do not require special bushings and mounts. Our suspension packages install with the same original mounts as your stock shocks and springs (new parts are generally recommended of course). For a simple, inexpensive, and hassle-free suspension upgrade, a shock/spring package is impossible to beat. Bilstein shocks and H&R springs each carry a limited lifetime warranty.

Bilstein has teamed up with Eibach to offer matched shock and spring packages. These Eibach springs are mated to a special set of Bilstein shocks to deliver a sporty and taut ride with as little impact on ride comfort as possible.

The Pro Kit uses an Eibach Pro Kit spring with Bilstein's Sport shocks and struts. Instead of taking parts from different manufacturers, Bilstein has tested the performance of the Eibach spring and tailored their shocks to be a true match for the new spring rate and ride height. This is known as a matched shock and spring and very few tuning companies take these extra steps. Eibach springs tend to be softer overall than most other aftermarket springs, which ensures the ride stays close to a stock comfort while still giving you a lowered stance and improved handling. 

Bilstein B12 Features: 

  • Precise response and excellent driving performance
  • Springs and shocks road tested and fine-tuned to complement one another
  • Bilstein Monotube/Inverted gas pressure technology
  • TUV certified
  • Made In Germany
  • Average Lowering of 25 to 40mm

Most cars don't need coil overs to improve their handling and bodyroll. For most drivers, simply replacing the shocks and springs with performance versions will meet their goals. If your shocks need replacing, and you felt the handling could be improved a little bit, this is an excellent performance suspension for you.

GERMAN-MADE DIRECT REPLACEMENT LIFETIME WARRANTY! BUY A PAIR FOR THE PRICE OF FACTORY SINGLE! The rear springs on the 2001-2005 E46 325xi and 330xi models have a chronic broken spring problem. If it hasn't happened to you yet it will. Springs are nothing more than exposed steel and they rust easily. After a while, a section of the spring actually breaks off. The typical Xi was sold in markets with heavy salt and moisture anyway and water can pool in the bottom spring pad. A broken spring is very dangerous - the spring is no longer mounted correctly in the suspension and it cannot support the weight of the car, especially when cornering. The ride also suffers as the suspension is no longer able to absorb the bumps and impacts from the road. Aside from a visual inspection of the spring itself you might notice a clunking sound or banging noise coming from the front or rear. An inspection of the noise should also include other related items in the suspension: bushings, ball joints, links, mounts, etc. We also recommend replacing the rubber spring pads on the top and bottom of the spring because they lose their shape over time. Check if your car has 5mm or 15mm thick pads. The factory BMW springs sell for $140+ each. We sold and replaced enough while working in New England that we were able to get a strong grasp of the issue and come up with our own springs that are an improvement over the factory springs in every way. These springs are made in Germany using high-grade spring steel that is then shot-peened for longer life and powder-coated for protection. These are the same height as the stock replacement BMW springs which makes them a direct replacement. Sold only as a pair.

  • Matching Shock & Spring Package
  • Comparable to a H&R Super Sport or Race spring - aggressive upgrade over stock
  • Vastly improved handling but with less ride comfort

This H&R Sport Cup Kit is for drivers who want that extra edge from a stiffer suspension but without the expense and complexity of coil overs. The E46 Sport Cup Kit is a more aggressive version of the Touring kit. The ride height lowers the center of gravity and roll center even more and the springs are stiffer for more control over body motions and weight transfer. The Sport Cup Kit lowers the ride height as much as 2.1" in front and 1.7" in the back. The springs are still progressive rate so the ride stays compliant on small bumps but quickly gets stiffer. Overall, they are about 50% stiffer than the stock original springs. Lowering amount will be less if replacing the factory sport suspension. If you want a very precise and firm suspension, and ride quality is secondary, the Sport Cup Kit is superior to the Touring or any other shock/spring package we offer. This package fits with the stock strut and shock mounts but front camber plates are recommended because of the increased front negative camber.

This H&R Cup Kit is a tuned shock/spring package for the E46 coupe and sedan. H&R matches a set of springs to performance shocks for a perfectly setup and functioning suspension package. Instead of mixing and matching springs with shocks, H&R has tailored each shock for the specific model, taking into account spring rates, chassis setup, and suspension motions. Without the shocks and springs engineered together the suspension may have incorrect travel or be a mis-match for spring rate (under-dampened) or too stiff. This E46 Cup Kit addresses all of that.

This item fits the following BMWs:

  • Matching Shock & Spring Package
  • Comparable to a H&R Sport spring - mild upgrade over stock
  • Improved handling with minimal impact on ride comfort

The factory sport suspension does a reasonable job in giving the E46 a sportier platform. But there are always compromises in a factory suspension and this Touring Cup Kit erases those. This shock and spring package will give your car the sharpness you think it's missing.

H&R Touring Cup Kit springs lower the ride height as much as 0.75" in front and 0.25" in the back and stiffens the spring rate. Both combine to lower the car's center of gravity and reduce the amount of bodyroll in corners. The springs are progressive rate so their initial stiffness is actually very compliant and it becomes stiffer as the spring is compressed. This is great for street cars that see bumps and potholes where suspension compliance is key. Overall, they are about 35% stiffer than the stock original springs. Lowering amount will be less if replacing the factory sport suspension. This package fits with the stock strut and shock mounts, making for an easy and clean install.

This H&R Cup Kit is a tuned shock/spring package for the E46 sedan or coupe with the factory sport suspension. H&R matches a set of springs to performance shocks for a perfectly setup and functioning suspension package.

  • Matching Shock & Spring Package
  • Comparable to a H&R Sport spring - mild upgrade over stock
  • Improved handling with minimal impact on ride comfort

A great first step for improving your E46's handling. The H&R Cup Kit will lower the ride height and use a stiffer spring to keep the tires planted to the ground. The matching shock and strut set will keep the ride optimal even when used as a daily driver.

H&R Touring Cup Kit springs lower the ride height as much as 1.4" in front and 0.75" in the back and stiffens the spring rate. Both combine to lower the car's center of gravity and reduce the amount of bodyroll in corners. The springs are progressive rate so their initial stiffness is actually very compliant and it becomes stiffer as the spring is compressed.

The Touring Cup Kit is the preferred shock/spring package for the E46 convertible and wagon models. If you want a mild upgrade over stock with fantastic results, this is the best option - lower ride height for an impressive appearance, stiffer springs for better handling, tuned shocks for an optimal ride.

H&R Touring Cup Kit springs lower the ride height as much as 1.3" in front and 1.2" in the back and stiffens the spring rate. Both combine to lower the car's center of gravity and reduce the amount of bodyroll in corners.

The E46 3-series can really benefit from a slightly firmer suspension. The stock shock and spring package is a bit too soft and mushy with a lot of bodyroll. Even the factory sport suspension was a marginal improvement. If you have been left wanting more from your stock suspension, this is the perfect upgrade. In this E46 shock and spring package we paired H&R Sport springs with a set of Bilstein sport shocks and struts to deliver a package with near-stock levels of comfort but with stiffer springs that improve handling and lower the ride height for better aesthetics.

H&R Sport springs lower the ride height by up to 1.4" in front and .75" in the back and stiffens the spring rate. Both combine to lower the car's center of gravity and reduce the amount of bodyroll in corners. The springs are progressive rate so their initial stiffness is actually very compliant and it becomes stiffer as the spring is compressed. This is great for street cars that see bumps and potholes where suspension compliance is key. Overall, they are about 30% stiffer than the stock original springs.

We use Bilstein Sport shocks as the dampers and they feature Bilstein's patented and innovative valving system. With this system, small bumps and impacts are absorbed as they should be. But the shocks stiffen for cornering and other suspension motions. It's the best of both worlds as the shock self-adjusts based on suspension motion. These fit with the stock strut and shock mounts, making for an easy and clean install.

Ride height varies by stock suspension:

E46 standard suspension: F: -1.4: / R: -0.75"
E46 sport suspension: F: -0.75" / R: -0.25"

 

Parts list:

  • 1 set - H&R Sport Springs (29485 or 29484)
  • 1 - Bilstein Left Front Sport strut (35-115106)
  • 1 - Bilstein Right Front Sport strut (35-115113)
  • 1 pair - Bilstein Rear Sport Shocks (24-027250)

This suspension package for the E36 convertibles will lower the ride height for a better stance and give you better handling. The stock suspension can be very soft with a lot of bodyroll. If you want your 'vert to handle more like a sports car and less like a town car, this is the right suspension for you.

H&R Sport springs lower the ride height by 1.5" in front and 1.0" in the rear and stiffens the spring rate. Both combine to lower the car's center of gravity and reduce the amount of bodyroll in corners. The springs are progressive rate so their initial stiffness is actually very compliant and it becomes stiffer as the spring is compressed. This is great for street cars that see bumps and potholes where suspension compliance is key. Overall, they are about 25% stiffer than the stock original springs. Lowering amount will be slightly less on cars originally equipped with the factory sport suspension.
