Do the BILSTEIN B16 PSS10 Coilovers for F8X work with Adaptive M Suspension?

No. BILSTEIN lists this kit for M2, M3 and M4 models built without electronic dampers. For an F80 M3 or F82 M4 with Adaptive M Suspension, BILSTEIN makes the B16 DampTronic kit, which keeps the factory damper control working. Check the build sheet or the suspension button on the center console before ordering.

How much lower will an M3 or M4 sit on these coilovers?

BILSTEIN quotes a lowering range of 30mm to 40mm at the front and 5mm to 25mm at the rear compared with the factory ride height. The threaded bodies let you pick a height anywhere inside that range, and the B16 PSS10 Coilovers for F8X cars are rated for axle loads up to 990kg front and 1,250kg rear.

What does the 10-stage adjuster change?

Each of the 10 clicks changes both rebound and compression damping at the same time, so the damper gets firmer or softer as a whole. BILSTEIN sets the range for each application, which means the softest setting stays usable on the street and the firmest setting suits a smooth circuit.

What is the difference between BILSTEIN B14 and B16 kits?

Both are height-adjustable BILSTEIN coilover kits with threaded bodies and matched springs. A B14 kit has fixed damping that BILSTEIN sets for the car. A B16 kit adds the 10-stage adjuster, so the owner can tune the damping for road, wet or track use without changing any parts.

What warranty comes with the kit?

BILSTEIN covers the B16 PSS10 kit with its Limited 5-Year Warranty. The dampers are built in Germany, and Bulletproof Automotive handles any warranty claim with BILSTEIN on behalf of the owner, so there is one point of contact from order to support.

Description

BILSTEIN B16 PSS10 Coilovers for F8X BMW M2 / M3 / M4

BILSTEIN’s B16 PSS10 Coilovers for F8X BMW M2 / M3 / M4 lower the F87, F80 and F82 by 30mm to 40mm at the front and give the driver a 10-click damping adjuster at every corner, on cars that left the factory without Adaptive M Suspension. BILSTEIN pairs its monotube performance dampers with progressive springs rated for each axle of the F8X.

Design and Performance

The front axle runs threaded, zinc-coated coilover struts, while the rear keeps the separate spring and damper layout the F8X uses from the factory. The 10-stage adjuster lets the same car run softer for a wet commute and firmer for a dry track day, and BILSTEIN develops the tune on the Nürburgring.

Features

10-stage damping adjustment that changes rebound and compression with each click
Monotube performance dampers with zinc-coated threaded bodies for height adjustment and corrosion protection
Progressive springs, finished in BILSTEIN blue, with rates matched to the front and rear axle loads of the F8X
Front coilover struts and separate rear springs and dampers, following the factory rear layout
B16 PSS10 Coilovers for F8X cars bolt to the factory mounting points, with no cutting or welding
Made in Germany and covered by the BILSTEIN Limited 5-Year Warranty

About BILSTEIN

BILSTEIN was founded in 1873 by August Bilstein in Altenvoerde, now Ennepetal, Germany, where its engineers are still based. In 1957 it fitted the first monotube gas pressure shock absorber to a Mercedes-Benz series production car, and Audi, BMW, Porsche and Volkswagen are among the carmakers that have used its dampers as original equipment since. BILSTEIN develops its suspension on its own test circuit in Papenburg and on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, and it has been part of thyssenkrupp since 2005.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
