Answer from Bilstein Germany, this week:
"Unfortunately we have to inform you that we don’t have a
certain date of production until now. It will take some additional
time."


More than a year after it appears in the online catalog!!!

Well that's unfortunate... My car rejected the Shockware install last time, maybe I have to suck it up and go back and try it again. Can't wait forever. By the sound of it, I'll be ready to trade the thing before the Bilsteins hit the shelf.

KW drops a little more and is supposed to be stiffer, but if bilstein doesn't come true ...

Any more updates on this? Snow tires are going on today, I was figuring I'd have it done when the summers go back on in the spring. If it's not available by then...

I would have to agree at this point. Being so late in the F-Series life cycle they might have just scrapped it without giving notice.

What's interesting enough is that in the last month or so they have put up the b6 damptronic shocks and struts on the US site as coming soon.

Previously they were only on the euro sites. But no word on the damptronic coilovers. I'm probably going to upgrade to either of those around 45-50k miles. Depending on what is actually out

Well then, maybe there is hope yet. I've already been holding out for a year. Sooner or later I will have to do something. Would have been nice to replace them 15k miles ago.

Now is about the time when these cars start needing replacement dampers.

This is true. I'm only at 23k miles but I was really hoping for the plug and play B16 damptronic coilovers but those seem even further away.

Bilstein would likely do really well if they're the only ones selling edc coils that plug and play with the stock system

"Hello,

Thank you"

Hopefully they release it soon as goj stated above, there is plenty of interest.

KW DDC dampers is the only available option for plug and play adaptive dampers now

They aren't plug and play from my knowledge. The require running a switch into the cabin. The OEM switch sort button function will no longer change the suspension.

Unless theirs a different product out now

You?re mistaking with KW DDC ECU model which adds an ecu that works with that additional cabin switch.

I?m talking about their KW DDC plug and play product; I have them so i know

To clarify you're correct the have the product line but nothing for f30 340i at least

I wonder if those are compatible
