Owner reviews for shock absorbers

I have them on my ‘15 and I really like them so far. I’ve done 11k miles since I put them on. They are stiffer than oem but they soften up nicely with large impacts.

Bilsteins B6 perfect with 4 thick 7/16 washers.

+1 on the Koni Special Active, very comfortable ride. I kept my 17" wheels and upped the tires to 215/45R17 non-runflats, slightly wider and slightly more sidewall, much less stiff due to it not being runflat.

Profender x series - mahal pero sulit. Less sakit sa katawan

Koni special active (red) make a great difference. Had the yellows; really sharp. But the reds corner flatter and i can take corners faster. Car honestly feels like its way more modern.

I’d recommend Bilstein 5100 shocks, and old man emu springs for about a 2 inch lift.

They are of fantastic quality. Fully assembled made for easy install. Ride quality improved on and offroad.

cuando compré mi 330i tenía el amortiguador trasero del lado del conductor cagado. Más allá de que acá te matan con el precio de cazoletas y amortiguadores (hablamos de OE, o sea Sachs, etc.) no se consiguen los guardapolvos ni los topes superiores.

Now, for the shocks, one was fine. It looked dirty but didn’t look used. The second one however, wasn’t even the part that I ordered. For reference, I ordered (2) ###612. I only got one of those, and got one beat up used garbage ###613. Like, it was so obvious it was used. It was dirty as hell, the shock leaking oil all over, and the thread on the bottom was literally cracked/chipped off and messed up. So I kept the right shock, returned the other one I got a refund for it and just bought a brand new shock instead.

The Nitros ride way too stiff, even with a lift. I installed a full kit with lift on my 200 and it was not a pleasant ride at all. I wish someone would have told me. I was expecting a firm ride, but every bump in the road was jarring.
