Bilstein B6 Availbility

Hi All.

I've been struggling to obtain B6 suspension pretty much anywhere.

Front shock are readily available everywhere, but no supply of rear B6 shock, accordingly to Bilstein till end of June.

Does anyone know where else could I buy them, I dont really want to wait another 2 months...

Thanks in advance.

I got a quote for these recently after posting an enquiry with Blistein UK here it is - (would be interested to hear what his discount is)


Bilstein UK sent me your email as they only sell through a network of official dealers.





B6 DAMPTRONIC set of 4 has a retail price of £1525 inc vat.

I am able to offer a substantial discount off retail and am happy to match any genuine UK selling price.

There are a lot of websites out there and many of them are clones of Bilstein in look and feel - please be wary of stores with .co.uk addresses that are actually based in Germany and other parts of Europe. These parts would not carry UK warranty. I've even seen sites prominently displaying the Union flag addressed in Berlin.


I don't have these units online at present but will get them added if you'd like to order. The front units are in stock but the rears are on backorder until the end of May unfortunately.


If you want to get installation please let me know and we can quote on that as well.
thanks for your time

Kind regards

Julian

If you can't get them from Bilstein and companies like us (and Julian, who we deal with for brake enquiries) can't get them then you are down to companies that stock them, but as hardly anyone keeps stock now it will be a lucky find. You could try Demon Tweeks, they keep some stocks.

Its for an f30 335xd Lci.

Demon Tweeks dont have stock either.

I surprised to hear about Bilstein Clones as mention above. Im not sure if thats is purely a dont buy elsewhere tactic... who knows.

Is there anything else you recommend Lorcan or sell? I will be pairing them with your ACS springs and tought B6 would be super combo.
Thanks Phil

We sell AC Schnitzer, Bilstein and KW. KW don't make sports dampers for the 335dx and AC Schnitzer dampers are based on Bilstein, so also subject to a 6 week wait (we can still get RWD ACS at the moment). Personally, I'd wait for the dampers you want rather than compromise.
