Looking even more sharp! Awesome job on your G20. But the best thing about this vid is seeing you enjoying yourself so much while driving! 😉 Great video again. Cheers.

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Hahaha....yes mate. It's good being back in the driving seat and especially with the new set up. Thanks for the support and kind words.

[@rubioalejo]

Looks really great!! 🙏🏼

[@TimWilliamsHD]

Another sick video bro, glad to see you back on it 🔥

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Thanks Tim. Hope you're well.

[@aathifhussain1124]

The stance on this is perfect. Love what they've done to that M135i.

[@MotechPerformance]

👍👍

[@sdhodges]

Looking really smart that Mo, best one I’ve seen 😍👍🏻

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Hey thanks Simon. Hope you keeping well 👍🏽👍🏽

[@NNAutomotive]

Looks lovely mate, did our m140 last weekend too. Much better!

[@hitman9997]

Great video. Car looks great!

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Thank you!

[@Josef8080]

What an elegant car is the BMW 3 series !!!! Wow Thank you Man.

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Thanks for the comment!!

[@I_am_Monty]

Looks fantastic man! Just got my m135i lowered and spaced as well recently. The car handles like a dream around bends 👍

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Good to hear. Like I say win-win...good looks and handling!

[@chrispittock2099]

The finishing touch, looks much better. Look forward to seeing what is next... was good to meet you at Motech on Saturday too.

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Ah....I was wondering if you'd comment! Chris I am so sorry I didn't get your name. Always great meeting someone that follows the content. Hope you got what you were after. Your car looks 💯

[@lowereastsideastrologist7769]

Looks great. How much did it affect your alignment specs?

[@MotechPerformance]

Perfect set up ..!! Glad you’re happy 👌🏼

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Its looks perfect. Thanks for the day!

[@rakeshparmar9456]

Motech Performance how much is the same on my 330d please?

[@MotechPerformance]

ilikechillisauce drop me an e mail I will need some info off the car , [e-mail]

[@MotechPerformance]

Rakesh Parmar drop me an e mail bud [e-mail]

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Trust me mate you'll be super happy with the set up.

[@srbs73]

Loving the mods, particularly Zed’s coding. Dealer just called, G21 coming this week after being stuck in lockdown en-route for 3 months!

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Congrats on your purchase. Hopefully I got a lot of stuff covered on this for people to pick and choose what they like and not.....including ZedCoding lol

[@jason23manning40]

Wow, what a transformation! I have a G20 330i and have added a few mods but this is definitely my next on the list. Enjoy.

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Oh oh....lol I think I just made you spend some money 😂 but on a serious note....this is the mod that makes a huge difference

[@decriped]

What mods have you done just got my 330i

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Have a look at my mods vid.....each mod is detailed there.

[@simonromero4294]

Here we go again the best content in the nicest video for the BMW community, I am kind of scared to lowering my 340 on Eibach’s Mainly because of the ride quality and comfy, honestly how stiff and hard it becomes? Thanks again buddy 🤙🏼🏆

[@DownShiftThrottle]

It does become firmer but it's not like rock hard crash ride. If the car has adaptive suspension then that will definitely help also.

[@afaq123]

taking delivery of my g20 M340i tomorrow, can't wait!

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Amazing! Enjoy it mate!!

[@tyzer32]

Can I please ask how lowering and putting spacers affected your car insurance?

[@DarkHorse-ov7dr]

Looking good. 😁👌🏻 Would you not consider side skirts on the 3 series? Something similar to that 135!

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Side skirts are next.....when I done the rest of the kit I was waiting delivery for the side skirts and then Covid came along as an unexpected guest who is kinda outstanding its welcome right now. Because of that my order has been placed on a back order. Soon though!

[@andrewlee5237]

Another great video, you can see the total joy in your face when you’re driving your cars. Any warrant issue with having the lowering springs fitted?

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Hahaha....yes I was clearly so excited I couldn't contain it lol. I guess if I have any suspension issues then warranty will be void on that area. But if the engine was to have an issue I doubt there would be a correlation if that makes sense....

[@simonnelson7770]

Andrew Lee I had my m240 lowered at Motech and BMW uk just said keep the original springs and if you give it back make sure they're back on, no issues whatsoever

[@Josef8080]

The BMW is the Tech of the Tech. However, the meaning of life isn't only the driving pleasure but rather happiness!! And BMW is one the happiness tools..

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Lol....BMW and its quirkiness

[@nismo4321]

Looks really nice mate. I have m140i with standard suspension and want to get this done but I'm worried about the ride quality. Will it affect much in your opinion when compared to adaptive?

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Good question. I lowered my M140i with the adaptive suspension and made little difference to the ride. I've driven M140i's on stock suspension and they are firm and jittery. I can only assume that they will become much firmer. But it will look great though....

[@sal2103]

looks good kab and so does the haircut.....aheem! Need to dm the the details 😉

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Thanks Sal....all those jokes back in school about home hair-cuts.....I don't think anyone is laughing now lol

[@niegezien8866]

👍🏻 Nice

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Thank you!

[@paulmackey9385]

The music is rich and smooth. Who is it?

[@andymccarthy9058]

Looks Smart, does it require wheel alignment ? Any noticeable different with then steering wheel, off centre or absolutely no change ?

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Will need Wheel Alignment as mentioned towards end of the vid. No difference with the steering at all. It's all centred. Giving it a few hundred miles before I get the wheel alignment done.

[@Gunbro888]

I have a g21 330i, non M sport.. how many mm should i lower it front & rear?

[@DownShiftThrottle]

I'd go 20mm rear and 25mm front.

[@jackmorgan1241]

On UK roads my old lowered F32 used to crash a lot over bumps. Does it crash at all with the 20mm drop you did?

[@DownShiftThrottle]

My 2017 LCi F30 (which this car replaced) was riding on 19" wheels, same run flats and standard non adaptive suspension and the ride quality was choppy. It crashed over potholes etc. This with standard springs was 10 times better compared to the F30 for ride quality. With the 20mm of course you will feel the difference but I'm pleased to honestly say that it has made very little difference to the overall refinement. Trust me I'm forever going over speed bumps etc.

[@jay_cee9004]

Hi . Love the video . Need a favour on where to get the part & who can fit it please. Bought a new 520d m sport a day before lockdown 😀. Jordan Smith @ Sytner Solihull did a great job. Went to get the new g20 & ended up getting the 5 series 🤔 Don’t like the silver grille at the front. Where is the best place to order a gloss black grill surround as the middle part is shut anyway. Also who can fit it . If you could point me in the right direction would very much appreciate it. Keep up the great vids - even simple ones on cleaving chrome exhaust pipe was handy 👍

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Theres loads of black grills on Ebay or or better still just get your chrome ones wrapped in glass black....Wrap Art in Birmingham are decent. Check out my G20 or M4 wrap vid. Detail of Wrap Art in the vid.

[@jay_cee9004]

Good shout . Didn’t think of the wrapping option . Saw your vid on the G20 lights getting wrapped in smoked glass - great job and looks brilliant. I’ll contact them 👍. Thanks once again

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Don't forget to mention me or the channel lol

[@jay_cee9004]

Will do , no doubt 🙏👍

[@sparkgsparks1736]

Looks great, tempted, I guess the headlights sort themselves out height-wise?

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Yes the lights are self leveling so no issues there

[@husseinafzal2335]

Bro. How is it with bumps like we got in London? You got the lip and have it lowered. This is my ideal but I’m worried if o do both then I will be screwed every time I go over a bump! Considering going for one or the other. What do you think as you’ve done it?

[@DownShiftThrottle]

I've not had any issues. Obviously you got to be careful but never really had do crawl over a speed bump

[@husseinafzal2335]

@@DownShiftThrottle nice one thanks !

[@jay_cee9004]

Just a quick question. Was going to get the grill wrapped but found out from BMW that the warranty won’t be applicable. Also need to inform car insurance as well as price could change or refuse to insure you ? Is that correct ? A lot of hassle for just getting a kidney grill outer wrapped !?

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Lol never heard of such an issue. Hoe is your warranty on the engine/gearbox voided by the wrapping on a grill...inform your insurance though

[@pricey78]

Just found you and watched all your videos on the G20 back to back. Great work! Trading in my 2019 RS5 for the 330i in the next 2 days, can’t wait. Completely different cars I know but time to change, and reduce the heavty monthly repayments! Anyway, loving the videos so keep it up!

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Thank you for watching my vids.....whoa back to back....you got to have some strength lol. Enjoy the 330i. I agree it's a completely sedated car to the RS5 but should help keep the Bill's down!

[@pricey78]

DownShift Throttle Whenever I buy a new vehicle I do my research and honestly found your videos very detailed, informative and on point! The RS5 will be missed, only covered 1,900 miles from new! But hey, money talks! Looking forward to my new 330i

[@stevesanders4071]

Nice

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Thanks mate 👍🏽👍🏽

[@nnnnny]

I lowered mine with H&R but having some knocking noise on the struct cupping rubbing. Do you have any problem or noise when turns at parking speed or slow speed?

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Hey....no I'm all good on mine. Strange that. I'd get that checked in case the springs are not sitting right.

[@nnnnny]

@@DownShiftThrottle When I turn left / right within maybe 5km I have that "knocking noise" from the "Spring/Struct" area. Took it back to the shop and they checked everything. Everything was installed fine but they grease up the "Spring and the Top Plate" area. Noise out for about 1 week but came back again. Installer said it could be the "Coating" of the spring rubbing the top plate cupping.

[@michaelrussell6218]

Hi, love the upgrade, is this an xdrive?

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Thanks....no mine is the rwd. Xdrive models sit even higher lol on stock springs. Get it done!

[@Frank-1978]

I put a set of h and r on my last golf r and regretted it in the end. 2018 mk 7.5. Id be slow enough to do it again. I have a white 2020 330e. Ill have to see how you get on for another bit id say. Your car looks better no doubt from a stance viewpoint. By the end I found myself wincing in the golf every time I hit a pothole. And here in Ireland there are plenty to round 😉

[@DownShiftThrottle]

I've ran Eibachs on my M140i for over 2 years and had no issues. M4 is a different beast altogether but this set up on here seems good. Road comfort levels are decent.

[@Frank-1978]

@@DownShiftThrottle nice one. 👌👍 As I say I only had experience in the golf with and r and I felt I fucked up the ride know what I mean. Maybe the eiback are a better solution so might have a think about it again. Looks great 👍

[@DownShiftThrottle]

I've always had Eibach as I've been in H&R lowered cars like the M140i. H&R gives a more lowered look but you're right the ride is much firmer to an equivalent Eibach spring. Each to their own I guess.

[@Frank-1978]

@@DownShiftThrottle Food for thought for me again. I enjoy the videos BTW. Always good content. Cheers 👌✌

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Thanks mate. I honestly appreciate the support!

[@koslan2646]

you need to have a wheel alignment after you lowered it

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Yes I mentioned in the vid towards the end.

[@luckgod1857]

So this is eibach pro kit and spacers 12 front 15 rear yes?

[@DownShiftThrottle]

20mm drop suspension yes

[@stanlee6436]

How is this suspension compare to bmw original M suspension? Does ur car not equip with M suspension?

[@DownShiftThrottle]

The vid is very detailed. You will find all the right info in it.

[@rodneymcclatchey7184]

Looks good got a question for you way off subject but how have you got your seat set up I'm 5.5 and I'm struggling to get comfy it keeps diging into the back of my legs sorry for probably a stupid question but it's the only annoying thing about a fantastic car any suggestions

[@DownShiftThrottle]

I'm surprised because these seats are way more comfortable and supportive compared to any 3 series that came before it. You can adjust the leg extension if that helps it from digging in.

[@rodneymcclatchey7184]

@@DownShiftThrottle Will see how it goes I may have the seat to high tried loads of ways will keep tyring till I get there cheers

[@DownShiftThrottle]

For the record I'm 5ft 7 and I've not had any issues.....I guess the 2" makes all the difference 😂😂😂

Glad I was an inspiration.....well not me....my car. Best to speak with Mike at Motech (details in the description) as I don't want to put prices in comments in case they change in future and my comment stays on my vid. 👍🏽

No issues at all. It's a compliant set up

[@gd8202]

How does this affect your warranty?

In the same way as putting on an aftermarket exhaust.....
