Sport Suspension or Standard 325Ci coupe

fastxl-349 · Apr 1, 2016

I purchased a 2002 325Ci Coupe. I have been doing all the usual stuff, Brakes, Control Arms/Bushings, Waterpump. Now it needs a full suspension refresh. Diff. Bushings, Trailing Arm Bushings, Springs, Shock/Springs. I am trying to determine what setup I have now, Sport or Standard Suspension. It all appears stock. Attached are pictures of the rear shock label and the front spring color code. Rear Springs have blue stripes on them. Having a hard time finding a definite answer. I am thinking it is Sport Suspension. Any input would be helpful.

Thanks,
E

If you run your VIN here, you'll know how it left the factory.

That rear shock seems to have the part number for a standard suspension (nothwithstanding the word "sport" on the label)

All coupes got sport suspension.
Wouldn't swear to the fact that this goes back to '02
Scour the wiki to find out the answer to that.
