  2. BMW 3 Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of 3 Series
    Hi All, Just done a fair bit of work on my car including dampers all round, drop links all round and 2 rear tyres. Dampers needed doing so ride has improved massively but I’m now finding that the car is now quite unstable at high speed, tram lining at lower speeds and very pointy at the front...

    I have an E46 330D 2004 and the history includes an old receipt for 8741 1390LSPOR dampers.

    Hi All. I've just bought a new G30 520D with Variable Damper Control. Overall I love the car - however the version that I had test-driven did not have the VDC, and I had been led to believe that this would provide a noticeable improvement to ride quality. But after a few days, I have to say -...

    Has anyone tried to check the dampers fitted to the headlamp pods? Probably not, but they are very prone to losing all damping capability and this causes the pods to shake when up and the headlamps are in use. It is pretty straightforward to replace them and can be done without removal of the...

    Hello all, I have a E60 with 126k on the clock. I'm going to do a full chassis refresh and have been looking at spring/damper combos, I don't want coil overs. I would like the Eibach Sportline springs but don't know which dampers will suit it. I would like near enough OE comfort as it is a...
