Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs BMW 3 Series E46 316/318 Petrol

Give your BMW E46 316/318 a sharper, more controlled feel with Eibach Sportline lowering springs. This kit drops the car’s ride height, lowering the centre of gravity to improve grip and confidence in corners while keeping the car usable every day.

Sportline springs are firmer than standard, reducing body roll and nose dive under braking. Steering feels more direct and predictable, helping you place the car more accurately on both B-roads and motorways. When matched with good dampers, these springs offer a sporty, planted ride without making the car harsh for normal road use.

Key benefits

  • Lower, more aggressive stance without sacrificing daily driveability
  • Improved cornering stability and reduced body roll
  • More direct steering response and better road feedback
  • Confident, composed behaviour under braking and acceleration
  • Designed to work with quality dampers for balanced comfort and control

Note: Designed for rear-wheel drive petrol E46 316/318 models without self-levelling suspension. Check tow and load limits if you regularly use a trailer.

Delivery timescales are given as estimates in good faith, but cannot be taken as precise or exact information. We highly advise against booking installation/workshop time or engaging in preparatory work until you've received and inspected the goods.

What do our stock statuses mean?

1+ IN STOCK in green stock is readily available in one of our warehouses for express delivery (at the time of viewing).

LOW STOCK in green means we're running low! 1 or 2 left on the shelf so act fast. Over evenings, weekends and bank holidays this stock can move quickly so please bear this in mind.

0 IN STOCK in blue means our primary warehouse does not have unallocated stock, but our UK partners do. Often these can be shipped quickly and efficiently. You'll be notified via the Track My Order page if further delays are unavoidable.

MADE TO ORDER in blue means we've partnered with a supplier which primarily makes their products to order. It's not on our shelf, but your order goes into production immediately.

0 IN STOCK in orange means everybody we work with is unfortunately out of stock. Stock is not available in the UK. The best course of action is to place an order to create an allocation from the next batch arriving.

OUT OF STOCK in red. This product is unavailable to order, for whatever reason we're unable to obtain stock or there is an issue with supply/lead times.

We're tuners too!

Our staff are car enthusiasts, we understand the need for speed... This includes getting your orders out the door as quickly and securely as possible!

In some instances, extended lead times are unavoidable. This is as labour-intensive and frustrating for us as it is for you, please know we are doing our best to facilitate your modification goals. Abuse of our staff or systems will not be tolerated.

Thank you, Team PP

In the words of the Vehicle Standards Agency (VCA), type approval provides "confirmation that production and samples of a design will meet specified performance standards".

For emissions components this encompasses noise, emissions and balanced back pressure, which have a strong influence on maintaining engine performance (power), and fuel efficiency. Type approval ensures that an aftermarket component will reach, or exceed the performance standard of the corresponding OE part.

Type-approval then, is a certain guarantee that an end user will receive a product of OE equivalent performance attributes.

Products on the Progressive Parts website that meet this approval will be clearly marked or labelled EC or ECE approved.
