They are in development as we speak but they will take a while due to the level of production and testing, so we aren't putting an official timeline release date as of yet.

I've put over a 1000 miles on these Evolve tuned B4 dampers, so now is the time for a quick review. In short, they are superb. Fitted to UK RWD 330d LCI.

I've been a fan of Evolve for years and leapt on these immediately as I trust Imran's judgement when it comes to ride quality. He and his team have got these dampers spot on for our crappy UK roads.

Partnered with Eibach Pro springs, Genuine F80 bumpstops and genuine -30 minute knuckles, the ride and handling are a total transformation over the car's original M Sport setup. I've had the car from 38K miles old, so had a good baseline for comparison.

Firm but supple ride. Nowhere near as harsh as off the shelf B6/B8, but firmer than stock M Sport (passive).

Absolutely zero compromises, which is the first time I've experienced that in over 30 years of modifying German cars.

Rides better than OEM, handles better than OEM and corners flatter and faster than OEM. Can't ask for more than that.

This setup has essentially turned a heavy saloon with questionable suspension into a GTI on twisty roads.

P.S. Forgot to mention the car rides on 400Ms with BMW * Pilot Sport 4 run flats. The ride quality is exceptional with run flats. No need to drop to non runflats with these dampers.
