Bilstein b6 10 way adjustable review.

Well a short review on this setup. I have a 2010 335d with the sport suspension.

So far these have worked out great. As a former user of koni fsd's i think these are much better and i really like the adjustable compression/rebound. Honestly on soft the car does float like a boat, but on firm it feels like a dropped honda. I wish the initial hit was slightly softer for bad roads but i tuned that out with slightly lower tire pressures. Running 245/40/18 conti pure contacts squared up with 27 psi front and 34 rear per continental.

Right now i have been pretty happy running these at 9 out of 10 on the dials and i feel like the car lost 500 lbs in the handling department. Next ill need the strut tower reinforcements if i want to run full 10 on the dial just in case. The only drawback is having to turn the dials when i am lazy and just want to do it from the cockpit. I paid about $1200 from summit racing and i only recommend summit as they put a lifetime satisfaction guarantee on the parts, their promise not mine and got it recorded ya lol.

If i had another grand to spend i would go full electronic with ios and android support for adjustability.


Still, i am inpressed.

What kind of springs are you running? Did ride height change at all?

They are designed to run the factory sport suspension springs.
