Reputable suspension dealer

Euan335i · 04-12-2016, 10:59 AM

Had a good search but struggling to find a comprehensive UK dealer for some shocks & springs.

My 335i is suffering from a strange bounding feeling at the rear whenever it goes over bumps. On the last MoT it came back with awaking rear passenger shock.

I thought I would like to change the shocks & springs so now is a good opportunity. It would be for fast road use and after reading it appears most recommend Bilstein B6.

Any suggestions appreciated

I've had the Bilstein B12 kit installed today, I believe this includes the Bilstein B6 dampeners. Great setup and matched perfectly to the Eibach Pro springs. I ordered mine from Germany and had it installed independently. I paid £520 plus fixings and fitting. All in just under 1k.

what's the mileage on your car?

Euan335i · 04-12-2016, 04:20 PM

Thanks, just been looking at these now. Are they in any way adjustable or just springs and shocks?

Also how is the ride? I'm in Edinburgh and it is made of the poorest road surfaces

Mileage is high, 148k.

Just checked on Demon Tweeks and apparently they only do the b12 for an e92 335i:

They do the B12 for all models, I purchased mine from http://www.tuningteiletotal.de. They are not adjustable but set by the manufacturer so once installed you can feel reassured that they've been set correctly for your car.

Do yourself a favour and buy the birds B3 kit

B12 kit is a decent shout. If the roads are that bad maybe find something a little softer.

I've bought a few sets off them over the years.
Currently running AP sports suspension and it's a big step up on all accounts compared to the m-sport.?
