Suspension upgrade

Hello all. I have a 2019 M Sport+ 440i. I am looking for suggestions to upgrade the suspension. I do not want it lower or stiffer. I am looking for more control, predictability and less harshness. At under 20k miles, there are no faults with the factory suspension, I believe it could be better. I don't drive the car hard, its more like fast touring.

I am aware of the Bilstein system that Birds BMW have developed, does anyone have experience of this system? Any alternative suggestions would be appreciated.

Morning Robin

Welcome to the Forum

By the sound of things you need a coil over kit for standard ride height with adjustable shocks. Playing with bump and rebound settings should allow a more supple ride, though wheels and tyres are a big part of the overall equation.

Bilstien are a well established reliable name that has been around for years so if the kit has been developed for the car should be a good choice, lots of other kits out there with a wild price range but personally suspension tyres and brakes really are not worth cutting corners with.

      2023 X3 Rear Bumper Problems

      Dave, the piece i I'm referring to is about 4" tall and runs the width of the bumper. It seems to be a systemic problem. The clips do not hold it in place. Has this problem been reported previously? As I said BMW has tried to fix it twice and even put in a new black insert.

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Hi Andrew A quick look at www.realoem.com shows it has a Dualmass Flywheel Part No.21207533869 Alternates are Part No's 21207527482 and 21207526107 Whoever your talking to they don't inspire confidence !! A Dualmass flywheel I guess would be around the £500 to £700 mark a good quality clutch kit Pressure plate Clutch plate Release bearing and Arm from someone like Sachs would be another £250 I have seen LUK kits for around the £800 mark complete the unanswered question is will you DIY or pay someone to fit it. If DIY is your route the car needs to be high enough to allow the Gearbox to be supported and lowered it is going to be heavy. Always use new flywheel bolts and clutch mount bolts and torque them correctly. Good Luck Dave

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      I checked again yesterday and was told they didn't know if it had a dual mass flywheel but if it had, it would be £1000 , if I didn't wand the dual mass flywheel they will not give any warranty on the clutch plate or flywheel.
