I have a hard time justifying the adjustable B6 system... less than $200 more than Turner’s price and you can get a full Ohlins R&T coilover system, shipped. Those would blow Bilsteins out of the water.

Does anyone know the part number for the B4 sports that will fit a 328xi? Bilstein's site was no help.

Sorry late to the party. I have had b4s on my 2007 335i for about 2 years and 15k miles. Bought them from Tirerack when they were on sale. Paid about 3xx shipped. Really like the fit and finish and oem feel. My e90 is non-sport with stock springs. Only thing I noticed is front end sits higher by 2/3 inch. Will be installing Eibach pro-kit next week.

I’m second late to the party. But reading thru this entire thread I’m a bit confused. I have a 2011 328i E91. I have been upgrading the suspension to do a few track days.My current set up for the past year has been Eibach Pro kit with the stock shock/strut components. Which has been fine.

My car is not a DD, as I have a work vehicle. I know I need to match the Eibachs up with a better shock/strut combo. Waiting to install M3 sways/bushings front and rear. So my question is which Bilstein? B6,B8?

I also live in Florida where it’s mostly warm, straight and flat. Other then some annoying speed bumps. Thanks in advance.

Thank you. Upon checking the description on Turner MS they definitely sound like the correct ones. However they do not list them for the E91? Only E90 E92 E93. Can any E91 ppl chime in on this? Us wagons seem to need specific parts for stuff that is separate from the the other chassis models.
