FINALLY a coilover alternative for our E60 XI Sedans (Godspeed)
Hey guys,
I know the topic has been covered a few times but I wanted people's input! I've been doing research on finding an alternative to the KW V3's for our E60 XI sedans for the last year. There NEEDS to be other companies making coilover sets for our cars that aren't $2k+. I am aware of CKS coilovers but have heard many different reviews/some horror stories..
EDIT ******** I can officially confirm that the Godspeed MonoMAX coilovers do in fact fit our xi sedans! They just emailed me back with confirmation, and are already sold out!
Godspeed MonoMAX Coilovers - 2003-2010 BMW 5 Series E60 MonoMAX Coilover Suspension Kit (AWD) :
(Haven't received confirmation fro these guys yet!)
Emotion Racing Coilovers - Emotion Racing Suspension coilover Kit Fit for BMW 5 Series E60 AWD 03 10 | eBay
I'm excited to see how these perform on our cars! Finally another option!

i confirmed with Godspeed a month ago, they sure the MonoMax fit our E60 XI. and i order a set after that,but they were already sold out so the earliest time i can get those is earlier March.

i did talk to both the distributor and the manufacturer which is the Godspeed Project and i did mention the difference between regular RWD version and AWD sedan and the wagon. Both of them confirm that they will fit on E60 XI, apart from that, the manufacturer told me the coilovers are made outside US. i believe they said Italy, and ship to US, the coilover only came out a month and half, so i can't find out any review on our cars yet.

Those godspeed ones are listed for like 10,000. Why? lol, Im probably gonna go with Island Road, 1,050 bucks and you get to choose one of 3 types of comfort/handling styles.

Kasmo,
If you order the Godspeed coilovers directly from them (they are currently sold out) they are only $840 shipped to the lower 48 states.. not bad at all!
