2015 F30 Bilstein Struts/shocks

subieworx · 03-07-2016, 08:22 AM

I have a 2015 328xi with H&R Springs and the ride quality is pretty terrible over large bumps. Going to aftermarket struts/shocks should help this some what, but according to tirerack there is not much available for the 2015. The 2014 has lots of options. I was thinking of doing the Bilstein B8's which are adjustable, but they do not list them for the 15. My understanding is there isn't any difference in the later 14 F30 to the 15's so I think they should work.

Anyone know for sure?

B8s do not match well with the H&R sports. The H&R springs are too short for the b8 struts. Try a quick search. . There are a couple threads where many people have experienced suspension damage/broken top hats after one big bump.
