Well from what Bilstein shows on their website they claim their new b14 coilovers will work with our xdrive. I'm hoping they're right

You are absolutely correct, I have been trying to find ones for xdrive for awhile and they seem to be an affordable option as well.

Probably way more affordable than the kw v2 or 3's, whenever they make those.

This definitely seems like a worthy upgrade over my basic M-Sport xDrive setup, no DHP. I'll have to peruse the F30 forum to see if anyone upgraded to these recently.

There's also coilovers from Megan racing for us too, although I have mixed feelings about that...

Edit: Scratch that, I emailed Megan directly and that apparently will not fit properly, even if that website claims it does.

Anyone have an update? I'm wondering if the KW V1 and Bilstein B14 coilovers that are being sold online will work on the 228i xDrive model. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I installed the b14's months ago and they fit with no issues whatsoever. Love the drop. If you want pictures I posted a thread a little while ago about them.Im pretty sure you can order KW's as well, but you might need the EDC delete module for the adaptive suspension(if you have it) to fit either brand suspension on properly.

Thanks for the info guys, don't have EDC but good to know it can be coded off. I'll take a look at your thread Csmoove195 and I noticed the Bilstein B14's for the 228Xi has a different model number than the regular 228i, which was mentioned in your post too. Cheers!
