No word on USD pricing yet - only whats shown in Euro as its lifted from Bilstein EU website.
Agree B6 DT look like a better aftermarket solution, esp as I'm running lowered springs, for when replacing worn out OEM adaptive dampers

Any information / links on the actual design, that is, how the EDC compatibility is implemented?
ps: I saw some preliminary info / pictures (supposedly from Bilstein) on those that showed the wiring would go into the strut through the top and would require additional wiring to be made to make it work. I wonder if it's true for the final product(s) because that would be a pain to install. |

F2x and F3x B16 "ride control" products have the cable tails in the same position as oem struts and damper, so do Bilstein B4 DT. I doubt therefore B6 DT and or B16 DT will have cable tails routed elsewhere but I guess we will have to wait and see......

Hi,
new to the forum but keen to see what you think about the new B12+Damptronic offering from Bilstein/Eibach. Seems to be released to the market but I can't find them for sale anywhere? https://www.bilstein.com/us/en/blog/...ries-4-series/ https://www.fastcar.co.uk/products/b...-m-suspension/ |

But none of these seem to have the M235i listed as a supported vehicle, I wonder why.

So I emailed Bilstein inquiring into fitment of these to our cars, since nowhere was the M235i listed as a supported car and this was the response I got:

Until a vendor in the US starts carrying them and someone is willing to put them on and give feedback, there will be limited uptake here in the US.

Has anyone tried them in the US yet? Thinking of trying these with some Swift Springs as my next suspension upgrade.

The KW DDC kit for F2X and F3x is the same and there are multiple kits installed in both platforms without issues. Have you tried it?

Interested in seeing a comparison between the b6 dampers + aftermarket springs vs the KW v1 EDC. One of them will be the major suspension upgrade for my car.

I am leaning KW because of the stainless steel bodies... Important consideration for me as I live in NJ.
