Aside from that feature, what would be the difference between getting a PSS9 kit for the 318is and getting the M3 kit?
Thanks again,
-Shane | the PSS9 kit for the m3 should have uprated springs to handle the heavier weight, struts may or may not be different for the same reason. if you're swapping in a 6, i'd go with the m3 kit. __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles
