Bilstein B6 specific to Z4M, is there any such thing?

I read that B6 on the front is taller than should be to fit so bump stop trimming is required. This doesn’t sound good to me at all: less rubber = more energy transferred to body on impact.

Is there a set of B6s specific for Z4M? If so where do I find them?
If I don’t want any compromise on comfort, am I better off with OEM struts and new bushings?

Yes, ECS have them. And yes, the bump stops are too long but that issue is not unique to the Z4M. Bilstein for some reason designed them as such.

Do you have any idea what the optimal bump stop length is with stock springs? Ah - apologies just found your other posts, will read on the other forum also.

Same length as OE assuming you keep OE ride height.
