Bilstein Shocks for xi?

mstnggt66 · 06-19-2008, 01:20 PM

Anyone hear if Bilstein is releasing shocks for the e92 xi? I've got the H&R spring s already but I'm waiting for a good aftermarket sport shock to put on with it so I don't have to do it twice after the stock shocks fail.

And mods...thanks for creating the xi forum!

This may be a sufficient option for performance. Shocks and springs are a cheaper alternative to coilovers

I am still waiting too. Bilstein prob will but I bet '09.

I need these, I have installed the HR Sport springs on my xi and want something better matched than the stock shocks!! Any ideas when Bilstein will release these?!?!? IF they will even release these??

Still no shocks for the XI models. I'm sure they're still doing some R&D on it, but as of now, you are limited in choices:

-Coilovers (i.e. KW)
-Springs (i.e. H&R)

I believe those bilsteins are the OEM XI shocks. Only reason I say that is b/c when I installed my springs, I noticed that there was a Bilstein stamp on them

Sorry I looked further and you are correct.

wait there are two versions....

BILSTEIN - B6 SPORT (http://www.bilstein.nl/bilstein/b6_sports)

and

BILSTEIN - B8 SPRINT (http://www.bilstein.nl/bilstein/b8_sprint)
"The shortened version represents the ideal pendant to suspension optimisation for nearly all sets of springs."

Is there really a difference and which ones do E9X XI models come with?!

Nice, I just spent a lot of money on V3's and have to wait till next spring to get them installed. I guess that's what I get for being so impatient, lol
