Parts list required for installing Bilstein damptronic

Hi guys,

I will be installing the B6 damptronic shocks and eibach spring for my 2010 M3 with edc. I know I should replace some parts like shock mount, etc.

I should need 1,4,7,10 for the front:


And 5,6,7 for the rear:


Not sure if I need to replace 9,10,11 too? Or any parts I have missed?
Thanks!

You don't need #4 and #7 for the front. Those are metal washers that can be reused.

For the rear, might be a good idea to replace #9 and #10, because they're rubber spring pads . But #11 is very hard composite material and should be just fine to reuse.

I just threw a set of these on my Dad’s E93. They ride great. Ride height in the front is up about an inch, though. Solidly 3 fingers of gap.

It shouldn't be. Check your assembly. You can absolutely tuck the front tires in the fenders with this setup.

Also just want to point out this is wrong for anyone who is installing these. 9/10/11 are not reused in the assembly of the rear springs. The diagram posted is just an outline of the stock hardware, not the Bilstein replacements.

Nah dude, see the rear spring diagram again. You most certainly reuse spring pads 9 & 10 with Eibach springs and B6 shocks.
You don't have to replace them, but it's a good idea for old worn out rubber parts.

Ohhh this is the B6 kit. I misread this as B16 kit. My bad!
