Hi,
I own a 2019 Long range M3 which has 165 000 km. Suspension needs love right now and I’m wondering which path I should go. I’m not looking to improve the performance or the look of the car but every summer weekends, we use a bike rack platform loaded with 4 mountain bikes which is over 200 pounds total. All the coilvers thread I read here talks about lowering the car. So here are my questions:
1. Do coilovers would help to maintain the ground clearance to prevent the bike rack to scrap on every road bump or car entrance we drive on?
2. Is there a setup that would keep the original car height/ground clearance and improve the comfort and also help with the bike rack?
I already ordered all the control arms and rubber bushings so I would change everything at the same time. I just can’t deal with the knocking sounds, rolling sensations and squish squish noise anymore.
Thanks a lot
