https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1388469 Start at post #13. Recent experiences from 2nd half of last year don't look good. Doesn't seem like they're set up very well, and one member had one fail on him at an HPDE.
Are you looking at other options in that same $4k+ range too?

Professional and amateur teams would pretty regularly send them to me when I was at Penske Shocks to get dimensions off of them so they could replace them with Penske's. I don't recommend them for the price they charge. I'm not saying go spend more on Penske's, just that JRZ isn't that great for the price.

At the moment, I am exploring Bilstein B16 Damptronic coilovers for my 2017 440i GC with M Adaptive suspension. My preference is to retain M Adaptive Comfort / Sport modes. Hence, the choices are limited. Ohlins R&T are also under consideration. |

For the F36, Ohlins R&T won't provide flat ride frequencies (helping ride comfort and chassis settling). You'd need to get a rear spring with a higher rate.

do they have anything for the F3X?...last i checked they didn't but I could be wrong if they can custom something up.
I'm in the same boat and I know a guy here who swears by Fat Cat since my car competes and sees the street. He says my adjustability is a gimmick and that i will only realize it when i go with Fat Cat. |

That is generally true across the board except for maybe 3 brands.
