Your i3 needs this upgrade - Evolve Suspension Package - Dampers + Lowering Springs

[@NicoElumus]

I did go for the standard i3S springs, I only upgraded the shocks - all I can say is WOW - what a difference - why did BMW not make the car like this to start with? The car is still rock solid on motorways (this is why I went for the S version), still handles through corners, but the ride is so much more controlled. I have gained so much confidence driving on the bad country lanes with the new Evolve Bilstein shock absorbers. The car no longer jumps or jolts and has a much more controllable ride. A truly impressive transformation. Better in town, corners well and now handles the roads in my area without trouble. Well done to the guys at Evolve, and thanks for sorting out the niggles without fuss.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Thanks for your feedback! It is highly appreciated and glad to hear you love the product too!

[@davidsilva3567]

My i3 Will need new shocks, would you still consider them now after 10 months? I’m looking at options and honestly not sure which to choose but I then to agree that i3 on stock suspension don’t match the bad roads we have in UK 😂

[@NicoElumus]

​@@davidsilva3567 The ride was a lot better on bad roads, don't expect a magic carpet ride, but far more composed compared to the stock shocks.

[@robg2691]

Very reasonably priced. Good upgrade

[@nate7906]

Nice video! Who makes the lowering springs for Evolve? They look similar to the AST springs for this car.

[@bonniedrasco8166]

Really thinking of getting one of these Imran, I guess you definitely recommend 🙏🏾

[@EvolveAutomotive]

My family really likes it. It's great for a city car. Only negative for me is the rear doors are not super practical

[@speeddonors]

Makes this thing look great! Awesome that it's more comfortabele and more firm. Win-win.

[@Mr__Sinister]

Man, these cars look great.

[@7aser]

What alloys/wheels do you have here ? I need them badly! ;D

[@KurumaDesigns]

Nice work! Which steering wheel do you have on there?

[@molinafranco2103]

una pena que lo hayan dejado de fabricar el iB3..espero con el tiempo vuelvan a realizarlo de nuevo

[@benji182]

Do you offer fitting of both springs/dampers and new shock gaters with wheel alignment at Evolve or is it just the sale of the parts? I'm not a million miles away and very tempted by these.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Unfortunately we do not offer wheel alignment but can install the springs and dampers - we have a fully functioning workshop for customer cars as well as our development vehicles.

[@NicoElumus]

Do the dampers improve the ride mostly on country roads? Do they also soften some of the jittery ride on bad streets around town as well?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Yes in all situations the damping quality is improved

[@_Areku_]

Great video! Question, when you did the R&D on the springs, how did you approach the difference in weight of the REx vs BEV models? Since the BEV is lighter, aren’t the springs not over sprung? Cheers.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Developed on BEV car

[@_Areku_]

Thank you - ordered placed for the whole kit. Cheers.

[@russandsarahhind6344]

I've a 2016 rex.not s model. How much is the full kit for my car?

[@gvngoheavy]

Still kinda wondering if anyone will make a widebody kit for these since both the front and rear quarters unbolt, yeah? Did a quick sketch of what one might look like a while ago when I almost bought an i3, and was pretty stoked on the idea. Still really like the i3, but ultimately we went with an id.4.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Whilst that is true, without cutting the metalwork beneath you wouldn’t gain any extra room. The i3s has the same amount of inner clearance as the regular i3. Also widebody and big wheels will quickly kill the range, defeating the point of the car

[@gvngoheavy]

@@EvolveAutomotive Definitely respect those points. I guess I was thinking from a show car or track car perspective. I was thinking that with a widebody you could run smaller wider wheels and have the widebody drop the wheel arches down. I could definitely see these chassis' getting hotrodded in the future since they are a carbon monocoque. Totally different perspective from your daily run about setup, which I understand and respect.

[@_Areku_]

Just to chime in, there are several successful examples of i8 wheels fitted on the i3S with 12mm spacers - you can run 215 front, 245 rear tires, which not only improves handling and eliminates the wobbling issue, but also opens choices to tyre manufacturers. Cheers.

[@tucc14]

Will they work on Rex models?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

They will yes

[@JWard2]

Where do we purchase this if we're in the USA? My i3s & my gf's i3 are a bit rough on roads

[@EvolveAutomotive]

You can get them here - www.evolveautomotive.co.uk/products/evolve-shock-absorbers-bmw-i3-i3s?_pos=1&_psq=i3&_ss=e&_v=1.0

[@JWard2]

​@@EvolveAutomotivethank you! 🙏🏻

[@MrGmilton]

Hello, I’m from California and these took awhile to get here. All I can say is that it was worth the wait. Made an Ill handling vehicle transform to an awesome controlled ride. Almost on par with my Porsche Carerra, no lie. Cheers🥂

[@EcoRI1]

Looks awesome! Any idea when your dampers will be ready for the E9x M3 platform?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

1st Quarter of next year Hopefully

[@Ohanxx]

We live in norway and just bought a 2021 i3. I was looking around to switch the standard springs and found a H&R set that many seems to recommend. Are these springs somewhat similar to H&R? I know little about this

[@EvolveAutomotive]

We haven't tried the H&R to compare, but are very happy with these.

[@_Areku_]

H&R are not good a good performer on the i3, better go with Evolve, ACS or AST.

[@Robbie-mw5uu]

tbh the i3 seats barely have cushioning the difference between my toyota prius and my i3 is astronomical in how more comfortable the prius' seats are

[@mikkorinne411]

I have had Evolve shocks about half year and 12tkm. Car is stable and stiffer, very big improvement. Two of my friends have driven my car and liked it a lot better than the standard suspension and both of those has i3. Other of those friends is going to order two sets of shocks, for both of his cars

[@AWJFunk]

What's the difference between your dampers and the b4 dampers from bilstein?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

We have tweaked ours slightly to our preference, using the B4 as the base

[@ZX_64]

Have u ever considered modifying a hybrids bmw like a 3 series estate?

[@entropy5431]

Will these fit an i3s with 12mm wheel spacers? I'm guessing yes but can you confirm?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Yes, they’ll fit.

[@johnnyzee383]

I have a question about your wheels and tires... Obviously not stock can you supply what those wheels are and the size of the tires?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Tyres are the standard ones we took off the stock wheels. Wheels are 6Sixty Design Shuriken. We can supply them but they are quite expensive to produce - [e-mail]

[@johnnyzee383]

@@EvolveAutomotive Thanks for the quick response... If they could accommodate a wider tire even a modestly Wider tire I would consider buying them... They do look pretty cool...

[@EvolveAutomotive]

They can be built to spec, so a wider size is possible, but make sure you can get a slightly wider size first! Not many options in these sizes.

[@unL33T]

What's that socket with the cutout called?

[@Dung8aj]

Are those wheels available- gorgeous

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Please email [e-mail] for more information

[@youtuviewer5440]

I own i3 range extender of Japan version it seems the absorbers and springs are different from German and UK version. Could I use this product for my car?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

We’ve tested these with range extenders as well as battery only cars with good results

[@opuscosmos]

Sweet..

[@patricksmeraldi4445]

I have a 2017 REX with 70,000 miles - all original except for new tires recently - love car, but ride is, and has always been, terrible - much bouncing and seems to be “porpoising” (on bumps, cabin rocks front to back to front, etc.). Which of your products will give me a smoother ride over road bumps? Springs alone will do it? Shocks alone? Both springs and shocks?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

The shocks alone will fix the issue you are facing. Add springs if you want a lower look and sportier handling car.

[@carlesscustomization1649]

Will these shock absorber and springs fit 2016 pre lift rex version too?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

They will yes.

[@rickybobby3043]

Any issues with this setup since you installed it?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Nope, still loving it!

[@brucemahon8539]

How much for these front struts complete

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Hi, we only sell them as a kit of fronts and rears - www.evolveautomotive.co.uk/products/evolve-shock-absorbers-bmw-i3-i3s?_pos=1&_psq=i3&_ss=e&_v=1.0

[@mariec3196]

will this set up work on a 2018 i3 w REX???

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Yes it will

[@samituomisto106]

Still to high...

[@BLX187]

People that buy this car are generally bad drivers that don't care. So doubt the uptake will be big

[@EvolveAutomotive]

That’s a huge generalisation

[@gianvisentin1232]

Comment like this one, you can keep it to yourself. Specially when your talking out of your rear end!

[@alanwong8162]

Many people who bought this car also own a M3.

[@rosinor6406]

I ran an i3 next to my GT3 and then my 458 Speciale. But yes.. let’s generalise 😂

[@ed-cookie-Cook]

It takes one to know one. My other little cars were Ivecos, Actros's, DAFs etc. So what do I know.

[@kenvanbuskirk7034]

Lowering that turd is not going to make it look any better

[@_rhapsodist]

go drive one before you judge it 😉

[@josephkelly4893]

It’s all subjective, it’s a little beast, and is aging well. Run along you sad sack
