Any ideas can it be fitted?
If not why?
Is there any other difference other than struts mount?
If this could be done we could fit I shocks on our cars

Of course not. The RWD cars do not have front axels. Do you think BMW put in different spindles just to be irritating?

I do think so
I will try to get second hand ones and see if I can fit something out just to be irritating

None of the suspension connections are the same. Plus the half shaft won't fit.

Bearings on i have a backing plate on them. Totally different design bro. Where do you think the half shaft will go?

I was thinking myself the same :/

Thanks guys I guess I will have to find something like Bilstein B8
as all other options are to harsh as the shocks are too long :/

There are plenty of options for XI: Koni, Bilstein, various coilovers, all with either sport, lowered springs, or OEM/stock ride height versions.

Go with KW V1s. Love mine.

I am running on H&R springs and I need shocks to go with it but I don't like
how the car feels when going over even smallest potholes.
Koni on the softest is still to harsh.
I like the drop from H&R but it is too harsh especially paired with oem struts or any other replacement with the same height :/
Coilovers are not the option as I will buy new 4 series year from now and no one cares what did you invest in your car and offer the same price as for normal cars
I might even refurbish the original one and shorten the lenght at the top.

The harshness is from the H&R's. No shock can fix that, XI or not. Go with Eibach pro kit or even better, OEM ZSP (non-XI) springs.

Also whatever you do OEM bump stops must be trimmed when lowering, or use shorter versions.

I do have E36 and Z4 bump stop combo installed. Z4 in back I trimmed few cm more.
Eibach is soft but eibach is high also
I am getting new car soon otherwise I would go for coilovers.
Next car will be rear RWD much more options and parts easier to get.
No one cares about AWD BMW's :/
