How to Install BILSTEIN B16 COILOVERS on a BMW F30 335i XDRIVE (Ride Control)

Hi, I've just bought a 2013 330d m sport. Is it normal for it to feel rather odd at the back when going over bumps? Almost like it wiggles a bit? The cars been checked over and given the all clear.
Characteristic of m sport ?

Do you by chance have a parts list for the bolts that need to be replaced?

I have the same coil kit, hated how the button did not blend with the interior and looked out of place. So i ended up buying a new module that has the parking sensors button below the sport and eco, since my car does not have parking sensors i used that button and replaced the parking sensor button cap with a M adaptive suspension button cap from an f80. Works and looks like factory. Nice thing about the parking sensor button is that it also has a led underneath it and it works exactly like the Bilstein button.

Dude u look like lexa from the 100 tv series

Total respect, you lost me after a minute 🤣. Fascinating to watch a master engineer at work 👍👍

Does bilstein recommend changing the top mounts n rear cushion?

does your hav the adaptive suspension? my m140 has , i m confused if i get the B14 or B16 , dont know how the B16 damping works ,would it link with my factory adaptive suspension ....thx ur helps

Hey man. Long time subscriber. I have a different issue. My passenger tail lights brake and blinkers went off. I move my whole tail lights bulbs socket every works fine. I tried to upgrade to led lights. Don't know if I did a short. I checked everything connector ets no burnouts. My ground is fine just my positive blinkler and lamps. My daylights rear are ok. Help me. Don't know if light malfunction error shut current yo my lights. Any suggestions. No money to take to dealer. Thanks

I thought my F10 535i M-Sport used these simple sport shocks like other M-Sport bmw videos showing so but after removing my rear tires i realized my shocks are way different than stock or the $200 Belinstein shocks from this video! Just one damn shock for my M-Sport cost an arm and a leg $600 just for ONE! WHY???? Because the previous owner decided to option for the best expensive shocks bmw can put in these cars and those are the EDC shocks that adjust instantly on a push of a button from softer to very stiff hence why u can have 20" killer rims on the F10 with very minimal scraping when hitting hard bumps! I guess they r worth it and no need of them adjustment coils since i only have about 1 inch of space from tire to edge of fender and my tire rims are perfect wide enough that they don't need spacers!

Im stuck on whether i should get these or KWs all i really want is a stiffer ride with less body roll

Can I still use this coil over even if I have adaptive m suspension ?

Is this kit compatible with bmw adaptive sus?

Hands down, Brian is probably the best mechanic behind a camera. Easy to follow and great commentary.

Hi, does the drive shaft have to be loosened at the front of the xdrive?

Hi,
Muss die Antriebswelle beim xdrive gelöst werden?
Oder kann man den stoßdämpfer vorne auch so tauschen?

Hi
Nice video as usual!
If i have already the original BMW Confort to sport mode that adust the dampening which bilstein i have to install? I have a 435 Xdrive 2015

great vid. btw, is that a 6wb instrument cluster? how do you get it to stay in sports view while in comfort?

Dude such a kick ass video, you guys make me wanna leave my trading gig and open shop. I'm sure it looks much easier on cam than day to day so thanks keep it coming!!!

I am just wondering where can buy the special tools you used to spread the spindle

you said 25" Front Fender... any issues with front axles? ... I lowered mine to 25-3/4" and I'm worried about my axles.. yes I had a 4 wheel alignment... your response would be greatly appreciated...

What did you do to address the EDC system?

What size rims are those?

do you know if you put that spacer washer on the rear strut below or above the strut mount?

does anyone know what rims are those ?

For the new button, could've used a washer lol

Don’t suppose you would know if front active dampers from an xdrive f30 will work on a rwd f31. I know the xdrive damper is shorter to clear the drive shaft, but apart from that, are the damping rates and ride height same. Reason I ask is I’ve a rwd with a leaky damper, and I have access to some from an xdrive f30

Very helpful video, can you make a video for xdrive f30 that has EDC? How would the install looks like and option for edc delete or coil that support edc?

what was the car's mileage at the time of replacement?

So I guess the question now is how you gonna charge your phone wired of course

Great as always, so the F30 335i rwd front springs fit on F30 335i XDrive and have different ride hight ? Didn’t know that.

Where do I get the the wire extensions for the edc

i know he used bilstein but would it still be the same procsess and installation if i had solowerks?

I’ve got a 2005 VW Golf TDI
On 19 x 8.5 wheels
255/30 et 30mm
How do I figure how much I can lower it while still being functional with the B16s

Wish I had the money to put these babies on my 328i

If i tighten the excentric bolt of toe arm more than 100 nm, will i have to change the bolt the washer and the lock nut or just the lock nut ?! Thanks for.your reply

Can you do this if you have the factory variable suspension option? Does that effect anything ?

What Bilsteins for stock ride height?

I have an m240i, since I installed the bilstein b16 you have had to change the strut mount twice, any ideas?

What’s the torque spec on the 13mm bolts on the shock tower (3x)

Would of been nice to see a before and after shot :)
Like what it looks like lowered to the max for reference :)

Could someone tell me which screws/bolts have to be replaced because they are stretch bolts ?

Volvo has this as 4c suspension in Volvo s60R 2004 comfort sport and advance

I wish I had 3500 dollars to buy this kit

Great fitment , any problem with axle when u drop ur xdrive ?

how do i upgrade when i have the adaptive shocks? 440i Grand coupe

am a technician:
you should load the suspension for the rear when you torque down the big bolts. front doesn't need to be loaded since everything disassembled doesn't have a bushing. just my .02c

Hey where can I go to get this done. I live in NY and my suspension is complete garbage. I've been to 5 different shops and went through 2 different types of coilovers. I had st coilovers and scale inovation. And my suspension is garbage. I can't find a decent mechanic that can look at my car and fix it with actual measurementsand torque everything to apec.. Every mechanic I go to is all in it for the money and nun have fixed my issues. With over $10k invested in my suspension. I nearly had everything changed to new. Every mechanic I went to blamed the issue on other things to make money. And they never fixed my car the way I really want it to. Please help me I live in long island NY

How did the alignment turn out? Did you have enough adjustment? Or would you need adjustable camber plates to get everything in the green?

what if you don't have an xDrive model?

What spring compressing tool do you use in this project ? There doesn’t seem to be a link for it in the video description.
