EU and NA M3 CS springs

cosmos515 · 02-07-2019, 08:48 PM

Does anyone know if the springs for the EU M3 CS are different part numbers than the NA springs?

Thanks!

I think the general consensus on the form is no one knows shit about the CS springs. My dealer is also clueless.

I am note sure that is entirely the case. A member actually did some research on the BMW parts catalogue and summarized his findings here: https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1467017

And BTW, "a dealer being clueless" is no surprise

Just to confirm I read that other thread correctly.

The M3 CS uses regular (civic) M3 springs front and rear? That's it?

Correct, as well as the regular front swaybar.

This then kind of explains why BMW has not approved the M HAS for the CS.

This is interesting. I'm now leaning towards using just Eibach Pro-Kit springs from the base M3 and not installing my M HAS kit.

Someone else suggested that to me today.

Why do the Eibach springs work so well in place of Civic springs?

I’m so confused as to why BMW has setup the M3 CS to the M4 CS.

I assume you mean not approved for the M3cs, because the MP-HAS are approved for the M4cs.
