Barringer Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Greetings Has anybody replaced the stock M Sport suspension dampers on an F36 435 with Bilstein dampers? I believe this will enhance the ride quality, even with run-flat tires. I appreciate the automobile, although the trip frustrates me.

Kenjibb Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 I would remove the run-flat tires first and assess the riding quality. Have you searched for the term "Bilstein" here, as numerous fitments are available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barringer Posted October 7 Author Share Posted October 7 Thank you, Kenjibb. I may consider such option, although I am uncertain whether to prioritise the Bilstein first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantelle Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 I have just installed Bilstein B16s on my F33 435d Xdrive. The contrast is stark; the automobile seems more aesthetically pleasing. Now that it is no longer on stilts, the ride quality has significantly improved, and in comparison to the original configuration, this two-ton vehicle now handles like a go-kart. I have configured the damping to 50% in the front and 40% at the back, which seems satisfactory. I will be posting images shortly, so please stay tuned. In the meanwhile, feel free to enquire if you want any information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barringer Posted October 7 Author Share Posted October 7 Thank you for your response. I have other enquiries. Did you retain the run-flat tires? Did you install them yourself or consult a BMW or suspension specialist? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
