Awesome video! The place where I live (northern California) has many roads like the UK which are tighter and rougher than the German roads that these cars were designed for. Great to see a drop in aftermarket solution that gives higher quality damping. I am eagarly awaiting the Evolve x Bilstein dampers for the E90!
Thanks! Yes some US roads are as bad if not worse than the U.K., so should be a great option. E9x dampers are in production, hoping we get them soon, the development set are incredible on our car.
Love the video! I’d live to get these on my F80. If I don’t want to change my ride height, should I just keep the stock springs or would the aftermarket springs on highest ride height further improve ride and handling?
There were reports that the B6 shocks raised the ride height significantly vs the stock shocks. Is this the same or has that changed with these evolve version of the b6's?
@@jnperri1are you riding on stock springs? I have eibach springs, it’s not slammed and I don’t want the car to be back at ride height but can you notice the difference? I’m considering selling the f80 if I cant improve the harshness
Can you share the tools you used to tighten the nut at the top of the front strut? The pass-through socket I used to get the stock one off did not fit the evolve struts!
Sorry to come back here with another question. Can these work with the HAS kits on the market? From the look of the front shock, I’m thinking no but figured I’d ask.
Hard to beat on this side of the globe. I was looking @ Bilstein EVO SE or EVO R as among the best. Not available for the x3. Nitron is out of the question. Their 15k service intervals is disappointing when New Yorkers dive an average of 20k mileage led year. Ohlin don't care to support the x3. MCS (& possibly Motion) seemed to be the next ultimate go to. However, for the price, this B6 version is a game changer. Imagine the suppleness of the Bilstein B4 and the handling of the B Club sport? Well done! Is this available for the x3 with EDC?
Unfortunately no this is not available for X3 with no current plans to support that model. With the X3 being more niche for modification, especially serious handling upgrades your options are going to be fairly thin on the ground.
@@EvolveAutomotive Nice, If I can suggest I would buy something that keeps a bit of comfort for every day driving but gets rid of the tedious body roll for spirited drives or track day
Anyone know if you are able to retrofit adaptive dampers like these to a model that offered adaptive, but where adaptive weren't ordered from factory? Obviously, need to recode the car to know they're fitted. I'm looking for similar larger adjustability, and don't want to pay for adaptive M pkg for a few reasons when ordering my car. It's an i4 eDrive 40, which gets better range on non-M-sport setup (better drag coefficient, range preferred wheel/tire combo). So ironically, not going for greatest grip or ripping around, but family member has motion sickness disability, and greater real-time adjustment of stiffness could really help dial in the right amount of interplay between too bumpy and too boaty. She can get sick from either and it lasts for hours after the drive. Thanks for any insight you can give.
Damn no G82 love from anyone that makes an EDC product. I’ve been waiting for the M performance DDC, and no luck. I had to order the G82 M Performance HAS kit.
They are, we have many happy US customers - evolveautomotive.com/products/evolve-damptronic-shock-absorbers-bmw-2-series-f87-m2-cs-3-series-f80-m3-4-series-f82-f83-m4?_pos=2&_sid=856497f10&_ss=r
No you cannot, MP HAS is made by KW and is very similar to their own HAS kit. As such they both fit the same way which is incompatible with Bilstein dampers.
I have an m4, I can manually switch the modes only on the fuel efficiency and steering but I can't on the suspension, however I dp have my m1 present for sport plus and the suspension definitely gets stiffer, will these still work for me even tho I can't manually switch suspension modes?
@@EvolveAutomotive honestly I don't know much about it, there is wires going to each strut, the car does become suffer but yet there is no button near my dtc shifter to change it nor any lighting indicator under my tach, so I don't know🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Not something we’ve ever tried. No idea if they would physically fit, if the connectors are the same and then if the software would run them correctly.
I have your MSS springs + New Bilstein Evolve set. We can't install it, because mss springs sit on damper not on rubber. What is this additional rubber on top MSS PU seats? We can see it at 2min40s on video. What is that part? I also have a lot of complains about your sale managment. We ordered mss springs, there was missing protecting slaves, i was writed about it, but now answer. Than we ordered your new bilstein evolve damper, but you send us wrong dampers two times. One time was missing correct dampers other was missing connection.
Hi, sorry to hear you’re having problems! Unfortunately as I am just a social media manager I cannot help you with technical enquiries. Please contact sales@evolveautomotive.com, I’ll make a note with my colleagues about your experience.
@@EvolveAutomotive thanks for your kind answer. We already talked with sales managment, they gave us confirmation that there is no additional rubber ( we send them photo ) . We must ask technical persons who is installing these dampers what kind of part this is. We spend around 3800eur but our F82 still can't ride properly for this small issue.
@@Tobulas1 okay, apologies I cannot help any further. I am not sure what part you are missing, we fitted a set of our dampers and MSS springs to an F82 M4 this morning with no issue.
Because its missing "adapter" on 2.38-2.39s we can see it. That is our missing part. Poeples on forums reporting about same problem. Because b6 is not fit without additional adapter with mss springs, or it must be new higher rubber.
My colleague has just let me know they’re dealing with you directly, sounds like the updated MSS part is required that comes with all new kits to fit on Bilstein dampers.

E9x dampers are in production, hoping we get them soon, the development set are incredible on our car.
Are these available yet to purchase in the US? Where?
Looking forward to e9x m3 version of this damper for my m3.
They're cheaper than the OEM dampers?! Well that's a pretty big no-brainer. Great job!
What a great car. The colour. The handling and performance and that no. plate. Perfect!
Another great product. Looking forward to meeting you guys at Sommerfest on Sunday.
I bet the handling is so good with these installed 😊
As always a great product and engineering. Always meant to compliment the plate too and kept forgetting!
Thanks! Plate will be for sale soon if you know anyone interested.
Amazing work, you must be proud! First thing on my list once I find the right F80
Thank you! Special moment seeing them arrive with our logo on. Good luck with your search and we look forward to helping you improve it :)
Looks Great! Props to Aston!
Looks and sounds amazing
Love those wheels 😍
Suit the car really well
Love the video!
I’d live to get these on my F80. If I don’t want to change my ride height, should I just keep the stock springs or would the aftermarket springs on highest ride height further improve ride and handling?
Thanks for watching!
Yes MSS has the ability to be set to stock ride height, and keep the upgrades of the product.
Do they work with my current eibach springs - with the height remain the same, Dont want the car to look like stock height. Thanks
Felicitaciones. Estoy enamorado de ése coche. Abrazo grande desde Uruguay.
There were reports that the B6 shocks raised the ride height significantly vs the stock shocks. Is this the same or has that changed with these evolve version of the b6's?
Thats what i want to know
I bought them. They do raise the ride height but they settle

Awesome 🙂👍🏻
What is your recommended evolve B6 Bilstein for my 2019 BMW 440i xDrive Grand Coupe
Sorry to come back here with another question. Can these work with the HAS kits on the market? From the look of the front shock, I’m thinking no but figured I’d ask.
They will only work with the MSS has kit
Figures. I already purchased the regular dampers and had to buy springs since they don't work with my KW HAS kit.
Yes, the Bilstein dampers are a different construction to the OE and aren’t compatible. They are compatible with MSS HAS though!
@@EvolveAutomotive I thought your website says your updated version makes them compatible with KW...
@@Nickodarius Never claimed that
@@EvolveAutomotive Misunderstood
Hard to beat on this side of the globe.
I was looking @ Bilstein EVO SE or EVO R as among the best.
Not available for the x3.
Nitron is out of the question. Their 15k service intervals is disappointing when New Yorkers dive an average of 20k mileage led year.
Ohlin don't care to support the x3.

However, for the price, this B6 version is a game changer. Imagine the suppleness of the Bilstein B4 and the handling of the B Club sport?
Well done!
Is this available for the x3 with EDC?
Unfortunately no this is not available for X3 with no current plans to support that model.
With the X3 being more niche for modification, especially serious handling upgrades your options are going to be fairly thin on the ground.
very informative video,are you planning a non EDC version for M2 comp?
Potentially yes.
@@EvolveAutomotive
Nice,
If I can suggest I would buy something that keeps a bit of comfort for every day driving but gets rid of the tedious body roll for spirited drives or track day
@@s87-d7d That would be the aim
In the video, does the car have CS EDC or stock EDC?
What's the name of that trick socket used to remove the front top nut? Never seen that before.

when is the e92 m3 version coming 😢
They are still in manufacturing, we really want to get them out!
Damn no G82 love from anyone that makes an EDC product. I’ve been waiting for the M performance DDC, and no luck. I had to order the G82 M Performance HAS kit.
Is it me or is Ash got a swollen left eye!! The way you're taking those bends is insane 🧲🧲 to the road
The improvement over standard is really impressive!
Aston does boxing training, that might be why.
Have you finalised the B6 for the E92 as well?
Yes, they are in production now
This B6 evolve edc strut can tune like the oem that can change settings to competition damping or CS dampening?? Pls let me know I’m very interested
Yes you can load CS damper setting into the car with these dampers. Works well.
Weren’t you going to do this for the x3m as well?!?!
No plans to do an X3M kit at this time.
Could there be an uprated set for our beloved E60 M5 also ?
Something we can look in to in the future but the demand would need to be there.
Are these available in the US yet?

Any plans making the same damper for G80?
No plans to currently.
I assume they work with OEM springs?
They do yes

Can you run these with the MP HAS kit?
No you cannot, MP HAS is made by KW and is very similar to their own HAS kit. As such they both fit the same way which is incompatible with Bilstein dampers.
Will these work with camber plates?
They will yes.
I have an m4, I can manually switch the modes only on the fuel efficiency and steering but I can't on the suspension, however I dp have my m1 present for sport plus and the suspension definitely gets stiffer, will these still work for me even tho I can't manually switch suspension modes?
Are you sure you have EDC? I've never seen a car with EDC without the damper button to change the modes.

Send us an email with your VIN number - sales@evolveautomotive.com
Have you done any testing on tracks at all? My car is an f80 m3 daily driver with occasional track days each year
We have tuned these for U.K. fast road, customers have used them on track with great results.
Would these work on a M140i I’ve got adaptive as an option but would like to keep it without having to buy the B16 kit
Do not believe so.
@@EvolveAutomotive ok no worries, would be really interested if there was a set I could buy
You’d have to research retrofitting M3 dampers to an M140i and go from there
@@EvolveAutomotive surely you guys would know if they would work ??
Not something we’ve ever tried. No idea if they would physically fit, if the connectors are the same and then if the software would run them correctly.
