Bilstein B14 experience?

Hi guys

Thinking of dropping a B14 on my 328i. It's a daily driver with hardly any track time. Hope to get better handling and of course better looks with the drop. Do not want to sacrifice too much comfort either....
Any reviews on the Bilstein B14 for the F30? Any input or reviews would be appreciated.

Lol, I have a set that I haven't installed. It is still winter here, I will install it end of march. But I'm guessing you want quicker replies than that.

Lol yeah. Apparently both the B12 and B14 available now so I'm trying to decide between the 2. Don't want no slammed ride and go kart stiffness coz I don't track. So that's tough....

I've had mine since october! hehe

But from what I've heard Bilsteins are a bit more track oriented compared to KW. But I have always had KW in the past so I wanted to try something else this time.

Hmm I heard the opposite?! Lol. Kw seems to drop the car real low especially for the rears so I'm not really keen on that. Plus there's a few negative feedbacks from this forum alone...
