Bilstein shocks

[dvd7117l]

Used B4 previously. It’s not equal to stock. It’s not just the slight firmness difference only. It feel that the shock travel on B4 is shorter. Might be because the B4 is a gas shocks.

Am using Koni FSD now. Surprisingly as comfortable if not more than stock. Firmness only feel it during cornering.

Thanks Bro Swordsman. Good to know this 'equal'. Btw may I know the cost of the FSD and WS?
Called Eng Soon today unfortunately no stock for B4. Only left original absorbers which cost approximately 1K double the price of B4.

Wonder why the original shocks r so expensive.Is it the BMW tax! Originals made by Tenneco Monroe for BMW.

now FSD already replace by Special Active so dunno the price. Suppose to be more reliable. You can search carousell for the koni agent. They will quote you including installation. Should be around $1.5k? It’s worth it, still can feel the hydraulic cushioning while sharper at turn.

I am using B4 shocks with stock springs. Comfort level wise is very close. The B4 is just a little more firmer as compare to stock shocks.

How about B6 with lowered springs?

 

[X6peter]

It's not equally as comfortable.

I am on B6 with stock springs and the ride is alr significantly harsher vs stock, let alone B12 which is B8 + lowered eibach springs.

Get away from that ws.

Bro I'm going to replace my B6 with lowered springs. Because I can't find my X6 E71 stock springs
