Here it is at long last... the full coilover upgrade for my BMW F32 435i, but the instructions would work on almost any BMW. There is a ton of great information out there, but really couldn't find a single end to end video of how to do the installation, so reached out to Bilstein and offered to do one for them!
A kit like the B16 PSS10 gives a tremendous amount of flexibility in your setup for both ride comfort and ride height. 10 stage adjustable struts from soft to sport, and 10-30mm of drop in this kit. For me I wanted a little drop, but can't go really low due to a very steep driveway into the garage. I wanted just enough to even out the fender gap, but not enough to scrape coming or going.
Thank you to Bilstein for making a fantastic product, and I am really excited to have this in my car!
