The thing that confuses me is how we can order them online. If I look up springs on ESCtuning, there's no options for which spring marking such as X3, X5.
I posted in another thread about ZCP suspension. The Spring table in BMW ETK Parts catalog shows which part number you need.

Thanks! I found your post here... https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1481852
Excellent material I'm hoping to build on.
I am working on compiling the spring markings for the E9x M3. When I find data, I put it below. Eventually the puzzle pieces will reveal all the spring marks for different specs. I did this for springs on the E36M3 back in the M3forum days but that disappeared as you probably know. If anyone can offer more data, I'd appreciate it. Right now, I'm finding lots of info asking Ebayers as they list springs. Thanks!

Notes:
Y springs are 1mm thicker than X.
X series springs may be for lighter M3's.
Y series springs may be for heavier M3's.
C series springs may be for the 328i.
D series springs may be for 335i.
