Shocks and springs for 2015 x5 f15

[Arkin]

I have a 2015 x5 f15 50i with 3rd-row seats. Believe I have regular Springs and Shocks in the front, but the rear has air springs with regular shocks.


From selection from Bilstein;
FRONT: coil REAR: air
Or
FRONT: coil REAR: coil
They have these 2 options. On my rear I have air springs regular shocks. The Air coir above doesn't have Bilstein shocks for the rear.


Does anyone know how long the regular shocks last? (mine is still good but need better handling)
I want to change to Bilstein B6, did anyone try on these set like mine?

My 2014 shocks are still fine, but I would also like to know about B6 replacement option - mainly for better road feel rather than real need to replace my shocks.
Now your rear air might need visual inspection, couple people on forum had issues with air leak and had to replace them even as low as 40-70k miles.

Those air springs, are we able to change to normal springs? I know those are expensive but the replacement will be expensive too.

Wonder why Bilstein manufacture site doesn't have a shock for the air springs.
