Coilovers are now installed. One of the front pinch bolt snapped so install took alot longer than expected. Front is all the way down. Rear can go approx 3 cm lower.

Silly question, when installing did you install the front with the yellow bump stops that came on them or did you remove them?

My front is adjusted all the way down and it’s still higher than yours.

Sorry guys. Here is an update. I dont think it has settled much if any. I have not removed any of the parts that came with the kit.

Overall i am pretty happy with the coils. Not too stiff og uncomfortable.

Installed M3 mirror caps. I think they look nice 😎

And now ready for winther 🙈

Anybody yet contacting Bilstein? Gotta be something misplaced in the assembly? Or something else that the company could help sort out.

Doesn't seem to be the usual experience with B14s from my research.

I want to pull the trigger on these coilovers but this height issue concerns me.

Anyone have an update on this? Want to buy a set of B14s, but I don't want to lower the rear much if at all from M Sport

installed a few weeks ago on my E91 325xi. No issues. Heights currently set about half-way up in the front, and nearly all the way up in the rear. Tough to tell with the 16" wheels with snows now, but looks to be plenty of adjustability either way, not too high or too low.
