In need of your expertise

Looking to buy coilivers for my 2018 440 grand coupe Xdrive

What is best in the market for my car?
How will the feature of switching from economy to sport drive work with coilivers?
Where in GTA can I get coilivers?

Thanks

Bilstein w/Damptronics or KW DDC P&P if you want the drive mode button to work as intended and change suspension settings. Otherwise, you need to buy a delete kit which will disable the function/settings entirely and eliminate the fault code that will appear.

Are you looking to maintain OEM suspension height (GTA winters ...) or lower the vehicle by a marginal amount?

Some coilovers will lower the vehicle regardless of the highest setting.

What's the cost of coilovers with DDC? What would be the cheapest option that isn't a pile of garbage. Asking for my F36 435 Xdrive

Does your vehicle have M Adaptive suspension?

M Adaptive suspension changes the coilover strategy.

The ideal option: coilovers which use the existing BMW adaptive wiring and EDC logic. Bilstein B16 PSS10 Damptronic PnP coilovers are already 2 years late.

The next best option: coilovers which don't use existing BMW adaptive wiring. You will need EDC Delete Kit. I suggest to consider KW Street Comfort coilovers for xDrive models as a the starting point. These coilovers are made of stainless steel (good for GTA winters) and can be set at OEM suspension height if needed.
