Suspension for f36

flyknit · 12-10-2019, 05:30 AM

I need to replace b14 on my 440i soon as its start having leak.

I have no intention getting b14 again as I find it’s on the harsh side (getting old). Currently thinking either b12 (eibach spring) or b16 (can adjust damper) but I have concern on b16 (coilover) as I experience knocking sound few months after fitting b14. And b12 (eibach spring) as its non adjustable.

Anyone using b12 with m performance front lip and whether it will be too low to clear bumps?

Have you considered something that might be less harsh and more adjustable like Koni Sport Yellow which would team well with Eibachs?

I plan to go KW DDC when time comes.
They can be adjusted too and integrates with the button already there.

What's your budget for new coilovers?

How long have u had the b14. The 440i should be around 2 years old max. This makes me question the longevity of the bilstein

B16 will be the max I would go as I plan to keep the car for another 1-2 years.

You are right - about 2 years. Had the b14 fitted dec 2017 after I collected the car.

I had KW SC on my previous F20, the knocking sound comes after about 2 years as well..
