gathering interest for Groupbuy - B14 PSS kit

Hi Guys,

you may remember that i set up 2 groupbuys for 313 alloys a few years ago.
I am now trying to sort out a group buy for B14 PSS kit retail around £950.

This kit is the non adjustable damping version of the B16 kit which retails around £1600 but this kit is height adjustable.

At the moment i can get the price for the kit for €835 euro's which today's rate £697 pound give or take a few, delivery to U.K.

personally, i think this is very good value because for the same price you won't be able to find something similar.

seller is german company so no import fee's or tax or anything.

i am not sure about warranty with bilstein so neeed to do aome research.

If we do go ahead , you pay the seller directly via paypal so you get protection.

if we can get 5 sets we are looking at €810 euro's =£678


deadline will be end of this month.

thanks

Awesome price. There was an issue with warranty though in a previous post due to being sourced outside of UK...?

A shame as I just got my b12 kit in

Looks good. How does this compare to the KW suspension?

Also the link you supplied is for the coupe but I take it this group buy is for the saloon as well?

Also what would be a rough fitting cost for this kit... £200...?

depends on your local fitter for fitting, 200 sounds right.

warranty i will email them since we are in the european , we should be covered but obviously i need to ask them first.

also no idea with the KW's, i was looking at bmw perfomace suspension and i know for that price , i get alot more for the bilsteins.

Yoro, Mob17 had got this down to £650 or so delivered from a German retailer and £700 from Bilstien UK for a minimum order of 5 I believe, get in touch with him

Get it from the UK, will save u a lot of hassle in a warranty situation

Yoro an idea. Maybe do a GB for B14 and B12? I can't commit but you may get a few more people interested in the B12, as its £540 from Germany. Maybe ask your UK link for a GB price?

Just about to purchase a B12 kit from a german supplier on ebay, so if this was an option and if it would help numbers, I could hold off for a week or so.

Hi Mob,

My seller is in Germany also, i don't have any uk links, Sorry.


For anyone else

Mob has told me this regarding warranty

Re warranty, the link i sent you the guy said in the first year he'll send you a shipping note and you send him the shocks back and he'll replace them for free. After the 1st year, i.e the 2nd year, you have to send it back and pay for the new shocks, then he'll reimburse you when he gets the money through. So you still have warranty but its with the retailer.


I will probably buy from this website now link as mob has found out seller will include shipping notes etc, since its always safer to buy from a company rather than a german ebay seller. The price is 823,36 Euro + 25 euro for delivery which is a litte more expensive but at least i got some kind of warranty.


This was the original seller that i was talking to Link



This was the email i sent asking about warranty and this is the reply from bilstein.


Hi,

Unfortunately you will always need to go back to the place where you bought the kit as they are your point of call and also are the guys who offer your warranty

Please note the warranty on a B14 kit is however only 2 years

Kind Regards

Aaron,
