The range covers the stated M135i, M140i, 335i and 340i applications, together with M235i xDrive and M240i xDrive.

The reservoirs carry the separate low-speed and high-speed compression controls; rebound is adjusted independently. These terms refer to damper velocity rather than road speed, allowing different compression inputs to be addressed without treating every movement alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMounting, supplied equipment \u0026amp; reservoirs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Springs and camber-adjustable front top mounts are supplied. The front mounts provide an alignment adjustment independently of ride height and damping. Three-bolt pre-LCI and five-bolt LCI versions are distinct, as are rear-wheel-drive and xDrive kits. The mounting pattern should be checked against the car, particularly where suspension components have previously been changed. The remote reservoirs need secure positioning and hose routing that remains clear through steering lock and suspension travel. \u003cstrong\u003eReservoir mounting brackets are optional accessories\u003c\/strong\u003e. The installation should provide access to the adjusters without allowing reservoir hoses to contact tyres or surrounding components. Wheel clearance must be checked for the selected wheel and tyre specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; setup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Where factory Electronic Damper Control is fitted, Clubsport Garage recommends coding out EDC when installing non-electronic coilovers, where supported. A compatible KW EDC cancellation kit is a separately available hardware alternative. The replacement dampers remain manually controlled; the cancellation solution does not restore electronic damping adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFurther information below.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AST Suspension","offers":[{"title":"Rear-Wheel Drive – Pre-LCI, 3-Bolt","offer_id":55690308878712,"sku":"RAC-B2101S\/3D","price":5064.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rear-Wheel Drive – LCI, 5-Bolt","offer_id":55690308911480,"sku":"RAC-B2101S\/5D","price":5064.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"xDrive – LCI, 5-Bolt","offer_id":55690308944248,"sku":"RAC-B2302S\/5D","price":5064.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"xDrive – Pre-LCI, 3-Bolt","offer_id":55690308977016,"sku":"RAC-B2302S\/3D","price":5064.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0276\/7375\/5750\/files\/ast-5300-3-way-motorsport-coilovers-bmw-f2xf3x-m135i-m140i-m235i-xdrive-m240i-xdrive-335i-340i-3323159.png?v=1792787179","url":"https:\/\/clubsportgarage.co.uk\/products\/ast-5300-3-way-motorsport-coilovers-bmw-f2x-f3x-m135i-m140i-m235i-xdrive-m240i-xdrive-335i-340i","provider":"Clubsport Garage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
