B16 Ridecontrol

VAF30 · 12-21-2018, 10:42 AM

Has anyone installed this setup on an F30 335i or? My car was ordered with the m-sport suspension and no VSS or Electronic suspension.. which is one of the reasons I bought it..

That said I do want to to put a B16 kit on for aesthetics as well as handling.. seems like having an electronic sport vs comfort mode would be cool for day to day driving vs getting on it driving..

Any thoughts or folks who have installed?

I looked at a review from the e90 iteration. I like the idea of it but I read (unless I misunderstood) that you lose the 10 setting adjustment for dampening and only gain the sport and comfort.

I think its pretty cool but it didnt seem like you could adjust what was set at comfort and what was set at sport.

Hi guys
I had it on my E91 330d. Was VERY pleased with it.
Can highly recomend it.

Thanks for the input.. my car does not have the active suspension or VSS for that matter.. one of the reasons I chose the car actually... but that's another story.

That said I want to go coil overs and was just thinking it would be cool to have a soft setting for city cruising vs hard sport for when im on it... seems like a nice option.. without all the gimmick electronics controlling the car..

ill let you all know what I decide and post the results.. thanks again!

Hi again
There is actually a auto setting in the B16 IRC kit.
There Is a build-in G sensor that measures the G forces and tightens up the suspension if needed.
Before I got those installed I had a kit with Eibach springs and Bilstein dampers which was good but also a but stiff. Being able to choose the setting for each situation is really good.
And using the app for it, it’s possible to adjust more settings. Not something I did much in, but it’s possible.
