Suspension upgrade options for xdrives?

So, near as I can tell, there VERY few aftermarket suspension options for xdrive G30’s. Am I missing something, or is it pretty much $2500 KW V3’s or nothing? I see that there are a few lowering spring options but I see almost no damper options. (No Bilstein? No Koni?) What gives?

yeah g30 compared to F3x suport is pretty bad. It also depends what kind of suspension you have. MSS does great suspension and should fit it, and yes KWs

I am considering Ac Schnitzer spring kit for DDC/adaptive drive model. Any experience by anybody? Too hard, technical challenges, like DDC component fluid leaks, more road noise etc?

No damper options because it'd be too expensive to be an improvement over the stock ddc.
I think the stock dampers are actually quite good and springs do make a reasonable improvement for the price which is why a lot of manufacturers offer springs and not dampers.
Kw v3 are expensive but in my opinion, a significant improvement over the stock dampers+springs.
