Bilstein Damptronic is one of our favorite coilover systems and I'm excited to see them finally coming to these BMWs, we've been using them on Porsches as replacements for the factory PASM suspension for customers who would like to go lower and have had extremely positive feedback from everyone who has had them installed!

If you don't want to lower the suspension, you could always just replace the dampers with the B6 Damptronics for improved body control & handling without sacrificing any suspension travel or comfort.

The Damptronic series of suspension options integrates directly with the Sport/Comfort switch in your car without requiring any additional switches to be wired in.

The OEM switch remain functional. If not, what would be the difference from the Ride Control

Correct.
