Our new upgraded shocks for 1-4 F Series Non-M models

We are proud to announce our latest product!

Being in the UK our roads are pretty rough to say the least. With that in mind we wanted to offer a product that improves the ride from a comfort, handling and compliancy perspective, that is a direct replacement to the original stock dampers.

With that in mind we've worked with Bilstein to create the Evolve by Bilstein 1-4 F series Non-M dampers.





We have worked with Bilstein on the valving to provide more handling and compliancy.

These dampers can be used with either OEM springs or any lowering springs on the market.

If you want to just improve overall handling and compliancy, these are the dampers for you. If you want improved comfort and sportier handling and improved aesthetics, install the dampers with some aftermarket lowering springs.

Note: these dampers are not compatible for xDrive models and models with EDC (electronic damper control)

We haven't at the moment, we've had a large amount of customers asking for this product but hardly any were X-Drive. If there is enough demand for an X-Drive version then we can justify the development, testing and production of it

Plenty of xDrive here in the US. Now if only we banded together for a group buy.
BTW are the struts & shocks for Sedan only or including Touring also?

If there were enough call for it then of course we can look at developing them.

These versions are for any variation yep, only restriction is non-EDC (as these are non-EDC shocks), no X-drive and of course not for M cars.

At some point we hope to but its absolutely manic at the moment with the schedule. Just this week we are doing the BMW London Park Lane takeover as well as drag stripping our 1000 hp M4 in Germany, but we will hope to get to it soon.

How do these compare to Stock, B4 and B6 on ride and handling?

In terms of ride and handling we'd say they sit right between the two

paulh@evolve what exactly is the issue with the X-Drive vs Non-XDrive? Is it the position of the anti-roll bar link on the strut body? Or position of wheel sensors? The biggest difference in the front end is the presence, or absence, of the half-shaft but I don't see how that complicates the damper?

We haven't tested them on the X-drive as of yet, and everyone has different part numbers (xdrive vs non-xdrive) so we'd have to investigate what the differences are once we get a hold of a a few to test on
