If you're looking to take your BMW 335d F30 to the next level, the Fortune Auto Generation 6 Internal Floating Piston coilovers are worth considering. These aren't just any dampers; they're designed with a keen understanding of what makes a car handle like a dream. The new design is considerably lighter, thanks to a low-drag Teflon band that cuts down on stiction. What does that mean for you? It means the damper can react faster to shocks, giving you a more responsive ride, whether you're cruising down the highway or tackling twisty back roads.

One of the standout features is the upgraded damper shaft seals, which now have 40% less drag compared to the previous models. This translates to less hysteresis and better control over your inputs. You’ll appreciate the difference when you’re pushing your car to its limits. The seals are made from a specially formulated Buna rubber compound, striking a solid balance between reliability and performance. Since the shaft seal is the heart of the shock, having a stronger seal really enhances the overall quality and performance.

Now, let’s talk about shims. These little deflection disks play a crucial role in regulating fluid flow within the damper. The ability to fine-tune your shock's valving with various shims is a game changer. Just a tiny difference in diameter or thickness—think thousandths of an inch—can shift the damper’s force profile by up to 25%. The Generation 6 dampers utilize high-grade Sandvik steel for their shims, ensuring that each damper is precision matched for optimal performance.

Another nice touch is the bright dip anodizing process. This not only gives the 6061 forged aluminum parts a brilliant shine but also protects them from corrosion and oxidation. You want your gear to look good and last, and this finish helps ensure that your investment stays in top shape for years.

Fortune Auto has also revised the jetting and increased the adjustment range, which means you can dial in your damper control more accurately. Each click in the adjustment range makes a noticeable difference in damping force, and you’ll hear that satisfying audible click as you make adjustments—it's a small but satisfying detail.

The engineering behind the piston shafts is worth mentioning too. It’s a tricky balance between hardness and malleability, but Fortune Auto has nailed it. They’ve reinforced brackets and mounting points for added strength, and most applications come with OEM brake line tabs welded to the lower mounts. This makes for a cleaner and safer installation, which is always a plus.

What really sets these dampers apart is the digressive piston technology. It provides an impressive amount of low-speed force that translates your inputs into razor-sharp control. And when you hit those bumpy sections of road, the force "blows off," giving you a smooth ride while still maintaining grip. It’s the best of both worlds.
