F10 xdrive suspension problems

Tymula_81 · 01-10-2017, 12:43 PM

Hello everyone I'm new to the BMW world and I just encountered my 1st problem. I lowered my car on h&r spring to realize my struts are blown. Now I can't seem to find any shocks that are compatible with my car. Any suggestions? I would really appreciate the help. I have a 2013 528 xdrive m sport.

There's nothing for xdrive. No market because company believes people with xdrive are used for snow driving and snow driving requires stock height.
Cks will be the most affordable coilover system you can get with good reviews.

Usually stock shock can handle 1" or less drop without having it blown early. Knock on wood my stock shocks are still great with prokit spring in this piss poor roads of Chicagoland.

I believe KW V1 & V3 are available for F10 in xDrive, also. Sales @ AutoTalent confirmed this about 1 year ago...

Starting to get common around here hearing guys post blown OEM shocks after a spring install.
