E92 - B14 Coilover Install Help (RWD)
Hey guys! Been using the forum a lot since I bought my 07 335i in November 2023. Done a lot of work since then and my last project is installing brand new Bilstein b14 coilovers. I have been searching far and wide for installation pictures to confirm I have it done correctly. Can someone who has them on their car take off a front wheel (I currently am doing the passenger front) and snap some photos? The only ones I can see is xdrive and it looks a bit different.
Specifically I am wanting to make sure how far the coilover needs to go into the spindle and if the piece on the coilovers rests on top. Thank you!! Last edited by days.e92; 04-25-2024 at 04:44 PM.. |

I use to use imgur but it's not working anymore like it use to so had to find another web hosting site. Let me know ! This is my first time ever installing coilovers so if it's wrong don't flame me too hard but let me know what I can do to fix ! |

looks good, center up the pins in the gap slot and till it rest/touch the bracket stop like u got. also lube up the adjust collar threads and that upper spring pad -probably would have replaced but shouldnt be an issue unless it totally fall apart

Thank you so much! All the upper parts are brand new OEM! I wanted to make sure I wouldn't have to take it apart again to fix any old hardware.

u meant the strut mount, rubber spring pad looks crumbly. not sure if thats a redesign but mine had a locking collar unless those dimples on the collar are allen set/lock screws?
