For aprox $1200, you can get an e70 compatible B8 struts matched to lowering springs, from Bilstein. I've fancied those for a while, but can't justify them till I have a suspension issue with my ride that warranty won't cover... IIRC, they are HR Springs in that package.
I don't think it's valved any different than standard B8 models. Wouldn't make sense to. But yeah, B8, for an X5, you have to look across the atlantic for those.

I cannot confirm that a normal X5 35i/50i suspension can fit an X5M/X6M. Using KW's website, the part numbers are different. You'd also have to deal with an EDC/active suspension trickery, which there are HW devices that/can do that...
That said, B6, B8 and B12 suspensions are easily found in the UK for the X5 35i/50i. http://bilstein.suspensiondirect.co....-xDrive50i.jsp with USD pricing and shipping info Good luck on your search. |
