Are you using eibach/b8 on your E39? How is the ride and how does the car sit?

 

[bimmer73]

Yup, auto future seems to be agents of bilstein, but are currently our of stock of models for E39. Anyone knows how to spot a lemon? Why doesn't bilstein provide warranty here as well?

Bro bimmer73, how are your bilsteins fairing? Are they performing up to par? Is auto future trustworthy? They did strike me as quite professional when I met them

they only seem professional. i had the knocking sound 11months after using B12. I went back to auto future to complain but they told me that they will sell me a set and send mine to the manufacturer to test them. but i have to pay for the freight cost too. If there is something wrong with my set they will refund me for the pair that i have first purchased. Mind you my set was still under warranty. I doubt they are the AUTHORIZED agent probably parallel imports. and they claim that everyone buys from them even other workshop.

I am surprise that authorized dealers would tell you something like that without even taking a look at the car which is still under warranty of their products and told me to go to his mechanic. No courtesy of even calling the workshop to make the arrangement to take a look at my car. I guess i would have to pay for the labor too. if you want to know a bogus dealer this is one. And the other thing is i was dealing with the boss. All the writing of the date of purchase on the part when i first bought it was all probably a show. Sorry this is how i feel about Auto Future.

My sets may be fake cause they have jammed with no free play after a year plus . through out the 11 months the ride was awesome and yes i am well aware that bilsteins last up to 5 years. Herbert have been in my car and has an idea of what the knocking sounds is like. Its has left a bitter taste in my mouth and considering other options.

Where is Eng Soon? I went to Blue Green today, they are checking whether they have stock. He quoted me RM3k for B8. Is that a fair price? Auto Future originally quoted RM2,900.

Eng Soon located in SG.

And where is Blue Geen? I called up IP, they quoted me 3,850 for B12.

RM3850 about there I paid RM3.5k for B12 in 08.

Shouldn't their price be much cheaper since they claim to be Agents/dealers. There is a Bilstein International Sales office in Spore. should check with them

Motorsport Division once quoted me RM2200. B8 Monotube. Guys when you get B8 make sure its the mono tube and NOT twin tube. Twin Tube is the older version and its Much much more stiffer.

 

[t2ribena]

Based on Bilstein website, Auto Future is not listed in the distributor/ dealer list...actually there is none for Malaysia. Nearest is only Singapore.

From bimmer73 posts, they cannot be the official distributor as the warranty scheme they are providing is not industry standard. Where got such thing as you buy another set to claim warranty. I suspect they are just parallel importing or unofficially getting supply from authorized source thus the 'special' warranty arrangement...

Blue Green is beside the federal highway near Nanyang Siang Pau.

Thanks for the advise, bro. Where is Motorsport Division?

Realred78: you got quote from IP, who is IP?

[bimmer73]

bimmer73, i see..
ok no problem then. The manager will reply to you to refer to our local dealer in malaysia.

In Malaysia, you should support our local dealers here....
SQ prices are so low because of how you import into malaysia only.

For B8 and above, there's many tuning shops buying from the tuning distributor in malaysia
For B4 to B6, there's many spare parts shop buying from the OE distributor in malaysia as well
