Well, since the Bilsteins won't fit Xi, its back to KWs, I guess... oh well
we just don't get no love with our Xi's. Hey, at least last night, when I was driving around without any problems in the snowy/icy conditions we are having, while my buddy in the CLS couldn't get out of his parking lot for an hour and a half, I had LOVE for my Xi

I really got excited for a second, and then I looked at the application guide from Bilsteins site - no luck.
Bilstein Product Guide
I think it would be great if KW made the V2's for the XI as well as the V3's. They are quite a bit cheaper, and all you give up is some adjustability (which I personally don't need).

click on BMW and then on E60 on the right column and then select your car. it appears that the sport struts are available for XI cars in Europe. i already sent them an email just for the hell of it to ask if they are interchangeable. by adding everything up (all 4 sport struts and the H&R lowering springs) it totals somewhere around 1200-1300. that's half of what a V3 setup goes for.
TIME TO WAIT AND SEE FOR A RESPONSE!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Jason,
Thank you for your quick reply.
I have checked it and if your car was manufactured between 2006 and 2007, the shocks will fit.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
Have a nice weekend!

Dear Mr. Meyer,
Thank you very much for your Email and you interest in our products.
Please be so kind and let me know the part number for the B6 shock.
It will be much easier for me to check if this is the correct shock for your car.
Thank you very much in advance

I have a 2006 BMW 525XI 4 door sedan here in the United States. Currently you do not make a sport shock/strut available here in the US for these to match up with the H&R lowering springs. However on your Europe site i see the B6 sport struts/shocks are available. will these work on a US car?
Thanks in advance,
Jason Meyer
