Anyone put springs on XDrive adaptive suspension?

Curious how this would work?

You can just use I springs until there is a better option.
I used I Eibach springs and have had zero issues on my e90.

Funny you should mention...looking for a decently priced set of 335 f30 sport springs (10mm below stock)...seems to be a few out there as people upgrade to KW, bilstein, HR, etc

If I go with the Xdrive, right now I am working on an S4 build and a f30... I told the dealer I would not do it unless he put I springs on there. They will depending on the dealer. But I have had I spings on my Xdrive for 4 years. I actually like the look, just looks like an I with sport suspension, not slammed.

So Im assuming no drivetrain issues,etc on the E90? I really considered an S4 vs the 335x but ultimately the 335 won out. I thought there'd be more suspension options by now for the x. Will probably go with the I springs.

None, Eibach and Bilsteins are my recommendation.
