Has anyone exceeded 70,000 miles on BMWs that they 'own' and is able to comment about replacing their DHP dampers yet?


For the F30, there is a consensus that the OEM BMW M Performance Suspension (static) is superior to the DHP option. If there is a simple static solution that outperforms a more complicated and costly solution, then DHPs are simply not convincing to me.
I am just about to hit 50,000 miles with the DHP dampers and I own the car and so far it has not given me any major issues and makes a total difference to the car. It is worth it adding it to the car even though it is more complicated and I wouldn't get a BMW without it. What's better than DHP is BMW's new air suspension in the new 7 which is just out of this world the likes of all stock BMW's have never seen before

But with all things it depends what you want to do with the car in terms of mods / activities. If you want to track the car and mod the suspension it makes sense to get static setup. If you want something that works out of the box and you want to keep the suspension stock then go with DHP.
