OE shocks?
« on: November 15, 2009, 06:01:16 PM »
What kind of shocks would you get from the BMW OE parts catalogue at the dealership today for our 318iS'?  I checked realoem, etc. but they didn't list suspension.  Boge?

OE shocks?

I found some yellow M-Techs on an '87 325is that are Bilstein Sports.  No stickers, but unmistakeably Bilstein.

I'd ignore the OEM catalog and look for the Bilstein Sports or HDs specifically designed for our cars.  The valving is slightly different.
