BILSTEIN PSS10 (B16) with Ground Control adjustable top mounts

[mattCSLnut]

As per title I'm offering my Bilstein PSS10 (B16) full suspension kit FOR SALE which I've owned from New for the past 4 years & 15K miles of summer use only.

The pix enclosed show it as it was when I bought it New (when I get a chance I'll update a few pix with how the kit looks now) however while it now shows signs of having been used it is still in perfect working condition without any damage or rust (stainless steel construction) with all adjusters fully operational. I even have the original Bilstein boxes/packaging & both ride height adjuster spanners.
It's been a great upgrade & very similar to the OEM set up but with the benefit of full adjustability in ride height & dumper rebound + when the time comes to renewal they are fully rebuildable. More Techy info here: http://www.bilsteinsuspensionstore.co.uk/bilstein-b16--pss10-48126687_p31029333.htm

In addition to this kit I also have a pair of "Ground Control" camber adjustable top mounts already attached to the front dampers ready for easy fitment. I purchased these at the same time as the PSS10 directly from G.C. in the USA. Info here: http://www.ground-control-store.com/products/description.php/II=9

This E46 M3 specific Bilstein PSS10 kit retails for around £1700 + New and the Ground Control top mounts cost me $450 US + 20% UK VAT (around £360 all in) so just a shade over £2000.

It is matey :beer: especially if Tracking Cecil. The adjustability of the whole kit is so easy it doesn't require any Allen keys or even a jack :thumbs:

I've gone full circle back to OEM ... the way BMW intended :smt055 not that there's anything wrong with PSS10 ...unless you're chasing ultimate lap times or racing ;)
Why are you thinking of changing to KW CS ?

[rstoughy]

OEM is the future. ;)
I hope that lot I just fitted to mine will see out the next 10yrs (with the exception of the rear springs of course) lol

[CraigMillwardCroft]

Why are people going back to standard, what do you all know :whistle:

Other than Top Mounts, 100% OEM until my driving skills stop holding me back . . . sorry KW, Intrax & Bilstein - that means you have a LONG wait :bigcry:

I'm working on that JP :thumbs: Check back later on today and I should have a few pix for you.

OK... here are the pix of my Bilstein PSS10 kit as it is today after 4 years / 15K miles of use. Taken today (20/05/15) after a quick clean.

Starting with the rears. They are virtually "As New" in appearance except for one of the original stickers has a scuff (was like this from new where something rubbed against it in transit) just visible in the first pic (top shock)
In addition my rear dampers come already fitted with "GENUINE" BMW rear top mounts which were purchased New at the same time as the PSS10 kit and were an extra. These are included in the deal for ease of installation :thumbs:

[jpbacs12]

they look in very good nick, and the fronts?

[mattCSLnut]

Here are the pix of the front Bilstein PSS10 dampers as they are today after 4 years / 15K miles of use. Pix taken today (20/05/15) after a quick clean.

Just as with the rears they are in excellent condition through out although do show signs of use more than the rears due it their stainless steel construction and greater exposure to the elements. They come complete with "Ground Control" camber adjustable top mounts which were purchased New directly from "Ground Control" in the USA and were an expensive extra. These are also included in the deal for ease of installation.

[jpbacs12]

do you think they could do with a rebuild? or were they ok when you had them on?

[mattCSLnut]

Just updated JP and yes they are in good nick (as they haven't been used on Wintery salty roads) and I really do look after my stuff :thumbs:

[mattCSLnut]

They are perfectly fine JP without any leaks or damage and were only removed recently as I've decided to reverted my CSL back to OEM for originality. So no, they won't need to be refurbished for a while yet.

Bumpety Bump ... £1200 (no more :clown: offers THANX) and Courier delivery may be an option.

My springs were brand new when I took them off :)
