Way tooooo much! Nearly enough to put a nice down payment on a new m3 :P But the point of this car was to mod and learn on it. Before this car, I really knew nothing about cars. So I call it an investment well worth it... plus it's been so much fun/entertainment.

UUC Sachs Suspension Kit - $699 (FREE SHIPPING!)


STAGE 3 Tuned Suspension System
Complete suspension for the 1992-2004 BMW 3-series provides SACHS Performance Racing Technology tuned for Street Driving Comfort!

From the manufacturer chosen by BMW Motorsport as original equipment for the M3 comes the suspension chosen by UUC Motorwerks as the Ultimate for all 3-series BMWs. SACHS Performance dampers are simply the best combination of Sporting performance and reliability for the 1992-2004 3-series.

Where other "sport" or "race" suspensions fail is where many enthusiasts use their BMW: on the street, resulting in harsh ride characteristics and even a decrease in road holding from excessive lowering or poor damper/spring calibration. The typical harsh ride of many aftermarket options is specifically caused by incorrect compression/rebound settings in the dampers (shocks and struts) and inappropriate rate/height design of the springs.

SACHS Performance Suspension gives your BMW a strong injection of motorsport racing technology while maintaining street comfort. OEM design sophistication results in performance without the bone-jarring ride of some other "street" suspensions.

VISUALS:
A lowering of 30mm-35mm (approximately 1.2"-1.4") from original chassis height results in an aggressive appearance without the "slammed" look of undriveable show suspensions. This amount of lowering retains excellent clearance for driveways and speed bumps, and nicely tightens up the gap between tire and fender.

PERFORMANCE:
SACHS technology inspires motor racing professionals all over the world: leading teams competing in the German Touring Car Masters, rallies, and Formula 1 regularly take SACHS products on to the winners’ podium. This same level of dedication to performance and testing ensures maximum suspension effectiveness.

COMFORT:
By examining a combination of spring travel and damping rate suited for the chassis, the Tuned Suspension Set maintains ride quality equivalent or better than factory "sport" models, with less "porpoising" (up and down motion) over roadway bumps and irregularities.

WHAT ELSE?
Aside from product characteristics such as lowering height, performance, comfort, and price, the production quality and tuning competence of the suspension system component's supplier are also important. Major component suppliers such as SACHS are the best choice due to their long-time collaboration with car manufacturers, especially with the tuning at the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) level and the experience and expertise in the area of motorsport racing and development.

Fitments:
# 1999-2004 E46 3-series - 330Ci, 330i, 328Ci, 328i, 325Ci, 325i (all variants except M3)
# 1992-1999 E36 3-series - 328i, 325i, 323i, 318i (all variants except ti)
