it all depends on what you are looking for. to me, bilstein coilovers are like the m3 in that they are all about balance.

hopefully i answered your question well. if not, just ask away either here or via pm.
Nice to hear! I am contemplating both the 9 and the 10, but the main issue on the difference is also the price. Where I live the PSS10 is double up on price compared with PSS9. I have a 118D hatch, so it doesn't see any track time, so I don't adjust the settings at other times than summer/winter change in tires.
The 1 hatch has a mad rigid body, so with a very stiff suspension it's much like a go-cart right now. But it doesn't absorb bumps and uneven pavement well, so would like something more advanced than the budget coils that are on now....
I have read alot on the technology at bilsteins page, and I think the 9 would suit my needs well, because I only tamper with the settings twice a year. It should perhaps even be mentioned that most of my driving is highway - I just like the sports car feel and corner ability when i have the chance

Do you think I am way off here?

But thanks for your answer previously. I am looking forward to your next update
