You reuse the stock bumpstop and dust cover on the bilstein sports?
From what I know, the b8's does not come with the blue dust boot as shown from pics. Was told to reuse all oem parts. Was that the case? |

Here's a little gap before and after. Base line F30 without any added package and the after is with the Sports + Bilsteins. 5mm spacers in rear and I'm thinking the front needs them too. Hard to see here but after the alignment I'm a smidge in the body.

Still rides well or has your opinion change? Does it get better once its broken in or there is no such thing as braking in shocks/struts?
Order a set of B8's. Should get it this week. |

I have a question installing the bilstein b8 with h&r sport. Was told by my garage that the front bumpstop cannot be used due to the big shaft size of the B8's but was able to keep the dust boot. So no bumpstop for the front.
For the rears, did you just reuse the oem bumpstop and dustboot? Do you need to chop the bumpstop? |

I answered in the other thread you posted in. Front bilsteins have internal bumpstops so you don't need the oem ones. Use rear oem bumpstops as is w/o cutting

It has felt great to me since I got them and although I'm getting used to it, it's still clear what a difference the handling is from before.

Update - I smashed the fuck out of a nasty LA pothole as I changed lanes and shattered my right strut mount. Everything else is (luckily) completely fine. I expected the suspension parts to get seriously damaged but all is good there.

On Santa Monica Blvd (around Highland)
It was dark out and I got frustrated with someone crawling at like 15mph so I went around them at maybe 45? Karma... I should've been patient. Everyone at the shop was surprised the struts/shocks/springs were fine. I didn't even get wheel damage. However they suspect when the suspension was installed, the bolts were torqued on the lift not accounting for when the car is on the ground/gravity. My control arm bushings are stripped (more so on the left side). I figure now would be the time to upgrade the control arms + bushings completely but I don't know.

hey guys, new to the forum... i just installed a set of H&R sport Springs on my 2016 328i x drive... i knew the car would obviously be a lot more stiff... but with that being said theres a thump on sharp bumps and doesnt sound good at all.. i can obviously deal with this as i am looking for a more firm ride.. but can someone explain please what that thump could be. it almost sounds like metal on metal but not terrible loud. Any help would be appreciated!
