Thank you for all your helpful information. Much appreciated

🙏🙏👌👌👍

Are you planning to upgrade the bushings? If so I would love a video of upgrading all the bushes for the car

[@MotorsportInspired]

Yes I am, but that’s most likely going to be in the spring, next on the list is rear differential fluid 😁

@@MotorsportInspired Nice! Can't wait to see

@@MotorsportInspired Please, I'd love to see it, I'd like to switch out the rear bushings for some Powerflex bushings.

Is it suitable to install f15 shock mount to e70?

[@MotorsportInspired]

Not sure 🤔 if that would be good idea

[@danielrd7493]

Where did you source these Bilstein's B6s??! I've been looking everywhere for them, I can't find them. Best I can do is get the B4's. Great video by the way, you're doing good work. I'm still nervous about doing the front shocks, but the rears I'm going to tackle soon.

[@MotorsportInspired]

Thank you for kind words 🙏 I got mine at fcp euro check with them they should have it.

How does the car ride with the B6s in the rear? I have a 35d with 3rd row air suspenion and bought the same strut/shocks, however, i did not install it yet. I haven't seen a review video on this so I'd be interested. Does the car still have the floaty effect on the highway?

[@MotorsportInspired]

it is much stiffer in the rear with b6 it’s definitely not floating anymore very planted on highway and in turns. however i don’t have air suspension in the rear, I know b6 we’re not made for the air ride, b6 struts have less travel then stock shocks causing trouble in vehicle with air suspension I would recommend installing them in the rear for your car.

@@MotorsportInspired I found a product sheet from Bilstein (2018) that says that the part is interchangeable on models with 3rd row air suspension. For some reason this info is not available anymore on their website today. I would be curios about the size difference between the bmw oe shock & bilstein b6. are the bilsteins longer, smaller, or same size?

Where did you buy the bolts? Are they original BMW ones?

[@MotorsportInspired]

These are orginal BMW bolts
