Lol the comments! But it looks sick. I think E92 definitely looks better than the E90 at that height.

People on imgur always go wild on my videos

I only use it to post videos here. Not sure why they hate cars so much. They'll hate like even if I post a video of like, a broken part or just anything at all

Anybody running the B14 with 30 profile tires (235/30/19 to be exact) feel like the stiffness is a bit rough up front? I'm wondering if switching to something like a 245/35/19 would add a noticeable improvement in comfort.

BimmerNy · 07-09-2023, 01:26 AM

Been running the B14 coilovers for over 3 years now, Also added dinan upper rear shock mounts and new strut mount kit up front. Unfortunately they ride pretty stiff and can get annoying.

Highly suggest St Xa or Xta as they are designed by Kw engineers and ride more comfortable.

Yes, I am.

235/35/19 F, 265/30/19 R

The 35s in the front are still sort of rough. I want 18s.

Sounds about right. I feel like that is just the consequences of running with 19" wheels, no matter what tire and suspension combo you have.

I had the B14 on my 330D and made a post describing them.
The fact im willing to remove them and move them to my 335i before I sell the 330d tells you I quite like them. I think they ride better and handle better than the stock M sport suspension 100%.

335i54n · 08-13-2023, 10:02 AM

^imo it more about the upgraded mono tube dampers in the b14. i think b8/msport/camber plates is the sweet spot. over the same fwy speed hump the b14 bounces a little more than msport/b4 before it settles, also dont really like how height adjuster are max and put such a preload on the springs to Almost reach stock msport height

to be fair, my only real complaint with them was them being too low on max height. Ill post a photo comparing them to a stock ride height m sport today or tomorrow for anyone interested

My KwV1s are the same ^^^. I wish the rears could be 1/2" to 1" higher when at max height.

yeah I don't mind the front being low, id like the rear higher to give it a bit of 'rake' as I think that looks good with a nice phat rear tyre.
