If you're looking to elevate your driving game, the aFe Control Featherlight Single Adjustable Coilover System for the 2012-2015 BMW 335i (F30) is a solid choice. I’ve had the chance to put these coilovers through their paces, and let me tell you, they deliver a ride that’s both adjustable and reliable.
First off, installation is a breeze—especially if you’re familiar with the F30 chassis. The ride height is adjustable, letting you drop the car anywhere from 0 to 2 inches. Whether you want that aggressive stance or just a bit of a tweak for your daily drive, it’s all in your hands. And the damping? It’s single adjustable with 24 settings, which means you can fine-tune it for everything from spirited drives on twisty roads to more relaxed cruising.
What really sets these coilovers apart is their construction. They’re made from lightweight yet tough 6061-T6 aluminum, and the hard anodized finish means they can take a beating while looking good. The mono-tube design features a floating piston that separates the oil and nitrogen gas, which translates to predictable handling and a consistent feel. You’ll notice the difference when you hit those corners—less bind and smoother operation, thanks to the 36mm hard chromed strut shafts that can handle high braking loads.
Now, if you’re into track days, you’ll appreciate the spring rates: 275 lbs/in in the front and 1100 lbs/in in the rear. They’re optimized for performance, yet still comfortable enough for street use. The inverted mono-tube design on the front struts places the damping adjuster at the bottom, making it super easy to tweak on the fly. No more crawling under the car just to make a quick adjustment.
In the rear, the ride height adjusters are also CNC machined from that same tough aluminum, which helps maintain the factory spring location for a quiet ride. Plus, the rear shocks feature the CIRC (Concentric Integrated Remote Canister) system. This is a game-changer—it triples the gas volume compared to standard coilovers, ensuring consistent performance across a wide temperature range and throughout the stroke.
Just a heads up, these coilovers are designed for non-EDC equipped cars and won't fit xDrive (AWD) models. But if you’ve got the right setup, you’re in for a treat.

So if you’re ready to transform your BMW into a corner-carving machine, give these coilovers a shot. You won’t regret it.
