Suspension recommendations? 35i Msport
Has anyone replaced their shocks/dampers with OE Sachs parts? I have a 2012 35i Msport with the actual sport suspension (no sport suspension delete). I looked at the B12 kit from Bilstein but I don't really have any interest in lowering the car.
My car has 120k on it, as does the suspension, so I'm just looking to make it ride a bit smoother.

How about B6 shocks if available? B6/8/12/14 are all valved the same. But meant for different ride heights.
B6 being for stock height. B8 for lowered cars B12 with matched lowering springs B14 coilovers B4 is stock OE equivalent shocks, should ride like stock

My car has S226A Sport Suspension Settings, as opposed to the normal "sport suspension delete" that you see on most cars. I believe the normal sport package has "sport suspension delete" and the M-sport package will have S226A. RealOEM also shows different part numbers for the shocks with and without S226A.

Correct. The sport suspension has different struts/shocks compared to the normal setup. Im pretty sure the springs are the same tho

It's confusing because for example, the front strut for S226A is 31316781920 and the non-S226A strut is 31326781918, but the SACHS equivalent for both on FCPEuro is Sachs 315-312.
Maybe they aren't that different?
