Bilstein B16 PSS10 Coilover Kit – BMW E82 / E90 / E92

OVERVIEW

The engineers at Bilstein created the ultimate race-inspired suspension: the B16 PSS10. The manually adjustable monotube gas dampers offer ten precise damping settings, from comfort to competition, selected by the twist of a dial — each click adjusts both rebound and compression.

The zinc-coated, threaded damper bodies allow accurate adjustment of ride height over the front and rear progressive-rate springs, so you can set vehicle stance, center of gravity and handling balance exactly where you want them — from a weekend of competition to daily driving.

This kit is designed for the E82/E88 1 Series and the rear-wheel-drive E90/E91/E92/E93 3 Series.

TECH RESOURCES

Additional Parts Required

• Recommended tool: Bilstein spanner wrench set E4-XS1-Z001A00 (sold separately) for setting the threaded ride-height collars.
• A four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation — changing ride height alters camber, caster and toe.
• Professional installation is strongly recommended. Spring compressors and BMW strut tooling are required, and the front strut assemblies are under spring load.
• Damping is set by hand at each corner — set front and rear to matching positions before road testing.
• Re-check ride height and re-torque the fasteners after the springs have settled, then re-align the car if the height is changed again later.
