Shock absorbers Sachs or GABRIEL

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

The difference is night and day, car is 30mm lower front and 15mm in the back. Feels more planted, feedback is more responsive and absorbs bumps a bit firmer but still feels nicer than the floatier stock setup. Previously would float into a corner whereas it feels predictable and how a Bimmer should.

Pros: more planted, responsive feedback
Cons: bumps a bit firmer
Mileage: 64373 km

If you are content with stock and just want to refresh, there are many options, but Sachs is a reliable stock brand for shocks.

Pros: reliable stock brand

Bilsteins are probably best, unless you want to cough up a lot for fox. I have Gabriel premium right now. Pretty good, but not as good as Bilsteins.

Pros: pretty good
Cons: not as good
