  • Body bounce:
Rating 4.5

I’ve had both for a rwd N52, currently on Sachs. But the Sachs are still really good and worth it for the savings over the B4.

Pros: really good, worth savings

I don't have a lot of comparison points, but I went Fox and love them. Great ride, but not at all sloppy, and really improved the handling.

Pros: great ride, improved handling
Cons: not at all sloppy

Sachs Shock absorbers

My local BMW shop suggested the OEM replacement Sachs and I agreed. Im very happy with them. Made the bumps much more manageable while still retaining that BMW stiffness we love about these cars.

Pros: bumps manageable, retained stiffness
Vehicle: BMW

FOX Shock absorbers

I put Foxes on about 1500 miles ago, they’ve been great so far. It’s all about the driving you do - I’m 100% on road, so they work for me.

Pros: they’ve been great
Mileage: 2414 km

  • Leaks:
Rating 3.0

I've had a number of BMWs and VWs with Sachs shocks leak after 40-50k miles. It's not like they totally fail and collapse, they just start having much slower rebound and faster compression.

Cons: slower rebound, faster compression
