Bilstein pushed out yet again. Now they are saying August. I dont know what to believe anymore.

I cant honestly say I am surprised but they made it sound like it was finally happening.

Sorry I dont have better news =-/

I assume no updates on this? I've been googling around but haven't seen anything promising yet.

Good god...wtf is up Bilstein, lol. So frustrating with suspension options on the F8x. You can do springs/has but dampers don't match and you get some bounciness at speed. Or, you can go coilovers, but either have to cancel or delete EDC errors; or you pay an arm and leg (presumably) to keep factory EDC settings.

The MP HAS has no bounciness. It performs very well.

Yea, I have the MP HAS...imo, it's close, but coilovers will ride better. They also aren't that adjustable, especially in the front.

Just give TPC few more months to work on their suspension controller. Or just grab Tractive dampers if you don't want to wait.

KW DDC also works well with EDC.

TPC?
TPC is the company that makes the DSC Sport controller for the Porsche guys. They are working on the same for our EDC unit. Cost is roughly $1290.

The only leap we are facing at this moment is the integration with the Flexray system to the various inputs and outputs needed to give you the best suspension mod possible for you EDC gentlemen (and ladies ). This will be going on throughout the winter as we finalize the production of the prototype boards. We have already test fitted the prototype mold to an F31 BMW and installs very nicely, plug-n-play without having to mess with the battery either.

Recently we did our first full coilover setup to QMP's F80 M3, but his M3 was passive, so there is a solution for passive F8x vehicles to have the DSC Sport Standalone controller and kit to give your BMW's active suspension. We have a great base file developed thanks to QMP for the F80 M3 and we are making more progress as the days pass.

In the meantime, here is a couple photos to help show what we are doing here at DSC Sport. I am not here to advertise, just here to bring awareness, look for feedback in regards to the suspension package, and help with technical questions thereof.
Thanks again for answering my questions from earlier this morning, Jeremy. Like I said, please keep me on your list for beta testers, as I am local. So glad more options will be available for this platform!

Anyone know the minimum drop height? Don't want to drop the rear much if at all.

FINALLY!!

I'm holding off until we hear some feedback / reviews on this kit. Would hate to experience a defective part, only to have to wait another six months to a year for a replacement. Also curious on the minimum drop etc.

These honestly seem like an expensive PSS10 with 7 less settings and no ability to tune the front separate from the rears.

Meh, I'd just go with the 10s and save a grand.
