Feeler: Interest in Bilstein Coilovers GB

[BottleRocket]

suggested DFV rebuild interval from Ohilns

- 30 hours track driving
- 37k miles street driving

i wouldn't say that's conservative since their track driving spec is a maximum time between rebuilds



not sure how this compares with bilstein since i haven't heard seen any suggested intervals from them officially


fwiw i'm running TCK SAs (they use custom valved konis) with at least 60k mixed driving on them with no issues. i've contacted them directly about potential rebuild and they said dont bother unless there's an obvious leak or degradation in performance.

I think we should keep this on topic as rebuild intervals and coilover comparisons have been discussed to death on here before. Just because Ohlins R&T may or may not be added won't affect anyone's ability to choose PSS10's instead should this group buy move forward.

I think very few here DD their M3 so 37k miles non-track driving should not be a concern

I’m working on interior trims.

I have a test set coming in from Karbonius Monday

I'd be happy to test those for you

E46?!? LET"S GO!! lol

E9X! But I'm working 'em for E46 They're slow, and do things right. I like them as a company.

Fwiw, I contacted Barry at 3DM (Ohlins certified rebuilder) about rebuilding my Ohlins, and he thought their suggested intervals were silly. His take was they were good for ~100,000 miles between rebuilds, and pointed out that polestar volvos come with them stock.

I don’t know about 100,000 miles, but I certainly had well over 30 track hours on them, AND over 37,000 miles on them, without any noticeable change in performance.

I’m not running them anymore, so don’t know when that would have changed.

any updates?

Any chance you'll be doing a group buy on their airbox?

[K-Dawg]

Possible to include B6 shocks/struts in the deal?

I want to throw my hat in the ring for PSS10 GB interest as well, if it becomes a thing.

They told me recently that they are already having trouble answering the demand and that no group buy would be possible at this time.

That's correct. Karbonius is somewhat slow lately. Still working on Bilstein.

Hey guys!

As the Supersprint GB finally gets to invoicing. I've been eyeing high level brands to create a Connex for coilovers.

I am in talks directly with Bilstein US for E46, E9X and E60 M applications.

They have the B16 (PSS10, 1995$ MSRP) and Clubsport coilovers (4,140$ MSRP) available for the E46 M3 chassis, see highlighted links.

This is strictly a feeler at the moment. I need to get a feeling for volume to negotiate terms & conditions for the community. I would expect a 25-35% off discount - though nothing has been discussed as of yet.

Is the exhaust still available to buy?

I would interested in the H&R kit, it uses bilteins. It's not that expensive already, but savings is savings

It isn't.

The Bilstein GB will be happening. I'm working through pricing with distributors at the moment.
