H&R Sport Spring Kit – BMW M235i / M240i xDrive Coupe (F22)

OVERVIEW

H&R Sport Springs are the best-selling performance street spring for BMW, and they are the usual first step in suspension tuning. Replacing the factory coils lowers the car's center of gravity and cuts body roll, which sharpens handling and chassis balance while giving the car an aggressive but still driveway-friendly stance.

The progressive spring rates are increased 10 to 20 percent over stock. That progression is what lets the kit stay comfortable and composed in normal driving and then firm up for proper body control when the road gets twisty.

This is the xDrive-specific part number, valved and rated for the extra front-axle hardware and weight of the all-wheel-drive 2 Series.

TECH RESOURCES

Additional Parts Required

• Damper configuration check — confirm whether your car is fitted with factory Adaptive M Suspension / Electronic Damping Control. H&R releases separate part numbers for electronically damped cars, and this kit should only be fitted to the damper configuration H&R lists it against.
• Four-wheel alignment — H&R requires the wheel alignment to be checked and reset any time vehicle ride height is changed. Budget for a full four-wheel alignment immediately after installation.
• Professional installation — H&R states that its springs and suspensions should be installed by professional suspension mechanics only. Improper installation voids the H&R warranty.
• Bumpstop trimming (application dependent) — some H&R part numbers require the front and/or rear bumpstops to be trimmed to a specified length. Check this part number against the trim chart in the H&R technical information sheet linked below before you start.
• Wheel and tire clearance check — verify clearance at the fender, strut and inner arch at full lock and full compression, particularly with aftermarket wheel and tire packages.
• Installer-supplied tools: coil spring compressor for strut and shock disassembly, torque wrench, and the standard BMW suspension service tools.

Installation

• H&R Technical Information & Installation Guide (PDF) — H&R's technical sheet covering spring identification and markings, dead and tender coils, ride-height measurement, the bumpstop trimming chart by part number, and alignment requirements.
• H&R Warranties & Claims (PDF) — official H&R warranty terms, coverage periods and claim procedure.
• Vehicle-specific fitting instructions are supplied in the box with the spring set. H&R does not publish a separate per-application installation PDF for this part.

Notes

• xDrive (all-wheel-drive) application only — rear-wheel-drive cars take a different H&R part number. Model-year coverage differs between M235i xDrive and M240i xDrive; confirm the years for your exact car with Speed Logic before ordering.
