So the 3er needs struts (115K mi, 12 years, are we suprised?)
As far as i can tell i am running stock suspension, no S package.
By SCCA stock class and local BMWCCA c class autoX rules struts/shocks and a front sway are open.
Not sure on what to do about the sway. For the struts i was thinking of Koni adjustable.

Any thoughts.

Fun problem, how to mod the 3er for the AutoX, and stay within certain classes. Sorry I can't help, but good luck with it Paul. You'll have to let me drive it again after the mods, and another few beers! : )

If you like to play with variable damping (and maybe confuse yourself) get Koni, if not get Bilstein sport.
