Bilstein B12 Pro-kit
I was looking to drop my non sport 535 with H&R but I'm almost at 50k miles and I'm afraid my OEM struts won't last long whith the the added stress of the aftermarket springs. Can anyone who has this option installed offers your opinion, pictures or reviews on this bilstein setup?

The H&R Sport Springs paired with Bilstein Sport (B8) shock setup is a classic suspension upgrade for the German car massive. Most drivers use this combo to compare ride quality and handling of other suspension kits on the market. The B12 Kit Pro-Kit from Bilstein is solid and it's priced very well when compared to other cup/kits and Coilover suspensions. I felt that Koni's FSD suspension for the BMW's is also a great match because of the dampening settings. I'm a set it and forget type of driver when it comes to suspensions. KW Variant 1 coilovers have always been a favorite but on the F10 BMW's they're overpriced!
I say stick with either Bilstein setup or go with Koni FSD Kit. Good luck, and let us know what you select!
