BMW 323I 2008 Lowering the Vehicle?

Does anyone know how to lower the bmw 323i, and if it easy to do your self. I would like to lower my bmw with eibach lowering springs.

No different than other 3-series. My 323 is lowered with Eibach stuff and stands lower than a M3. I kept the shocks and didn't regret it after 75K miles. Figure about 800-1000$. You'll need a 150$ dealer alignment.

why would it be 800-1000, springs alone are 300 than 150 you say for the alignment am I missing something, that I may need?

Mod Bargains has them for cheaper - $243USD + S/H.

Can rent a spring compressor but, from the experience I had on my M, you may not be able to get it seated because the coils are too narrow. Unsure about the non-M series - E90post may have a guide in their DIY section.

Yeah, I paid another 300$ labor to take care of the 4 corners. That was 5 years ago.

thanks for everyone help, ive got my bmw lowered 1.5 front and 2 in the back looks pretty aggressive now.
