im planning to change to m-tech suspension .....anyway is for e60 (530i).....ive just change 19"m5 rims on my ride but still using the standard suspension...i feel that the suspension is to soft and not suitable with the rim...each time i drove my car through a bump or an uneven road the rim will definitely hit underneath the fender...
what should do.....my friend told me to change to a sport suspension.....please advisse me tq people
does the m-tech suspension comes with the spring or only the absorber....??

Switch out your springs to HR or Eibach and you'll have a stiffer ride. If you want it even more stiffer, coilovers.

Don't waste your money on dealer parts though, sooo expensive.

M-tech suspension is offered on cars in Canada and Europe with the M-sport pack. My understanding is it lower than the "sport suspension" and the ride is fixed, ie: doesn't adapt to cornering like the sport suspension

Sawatdee Khrab chillselalu,
I'm in agreement with MikeBuzzsaw. Your stock suspension is too soft, thus when you are under full compression your tires will rub. You need to get either the Eibach or H&R springs. The springs will stiffen up the suspension so that when you hit a bump or dip on the road, your tires will not rub. If you're intent on getting the M suspension, be ready to pay a lot of money to retrofit it.
