Like the title says, I need a trusted vendor for Bilstein in Germany or somewhere nearby in Europe.
If you can recommend someone you've dealt with before, just let me know how I can find them. Or if you happen to be a vendor in Germany - even better
TIA

So bumping is not allowed, right? Just making sure 
Can I PLEASE get some recommendations for a reliable Bilstein dealer in Europe?

On the Bilstein website, they have a partner finder (in English)
http://www.bilstein.de/en/products/w...lerfinder.html
Using that search engine, I found a company on the first page called Senner Tuning (www.Senner-Tuning.de), who regularly have their cars appearing in car magazines in Germany (normal & tuning magazines), including BMWs. I have no experience with them, but they are certainly very well known and I would assume they are therefore also used to dealing with customers from outside Germany. If you need any help with German etc., just PM me.

Honestly, the reason I posted this thread is because I went through about 5 pages of vendors, emailing EVERY email they had listed there with requests. I couldn't get ONE normal response.
Vlad's normal response from Bilstein vendors:
"Silly American, there are no suspension options made for the XI!!!!!"
(In German, of course)

I emailed them in English, so let's see if they respond. Hopefully, they speak it there
Thanks again for the tip
