SOLD: E46 3DDesign / Ohlins suspension

Recommended Posts

The ACS / Eibach sway bars have gone.

Next up: The balance of the suspension I bought a while back. It is designed for use on all 6-cylinder E46 saloons and coupes but probably not the M3 (although I have seen the same part number quoted for the M3 and other models); Ohlins list a different part number for the M3.

This is from the Japanese BMW tuners, 3DDesign, who partner with Ohlins to develop suspension solutions. 3DDesign was founded in 1998 and initially focused exclusively on high-end suspension components. In 2012 they expanded into styling and other parts for BMWs and BMW Minis.

I bought this kit secondhand, but it has sat on a shelf in the garage ever since.

The 3DDesign page for the kit is here and the pic on that page shows all the parts included - some of the rubbers are cable-tied to the springs in the pic of the kit I have (above). They have 20-way damping adjustment, and use the original BMW top mounts.

The webpage is in Japanese, so to help everyone out I have reproduced the info:

3ddesign%20e46%20suspension_zpsde9gsrcc.

New price, ex-Japan is \339,000, currently just over NZ$4000. (I've seen the same kit for JPY336,830 and USD 2950.

Normally I'd ask 50% of new (or discounted) price but I didn't pay that. Asking $1100.
