Jacko 2237 Report post Posted Thursday at 05:31 AM On facebook, looks pretty solid just needs some love and odd spec with boston lemon interior. Auto LCI, BMWP 313s, Arqay symetrical thrust exhaust and PS5s.... sounds like she wants less than 4k. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Driftit 2200 Report post Posted yesterday at 12:51 AM Has anyone been happy with just replacing the old factory Sachs shocks with new factory Sachs shocks? My commuters are old and harsh. https://spareto.com/products/sachs-shock-absorber/317-566 or https://spareto.com/products/bilstein-shock-absorber/22-144256 I don't really want to go to an expensive kit for this car. Just a refresh that doesn't flop from side to side over the Remutaka and can handle driving through the beautiful roads of Carterton.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dln 19 Report post Posted 23 hours ago (edited) Recently put the Bilstein B4's all round on a 135i and can recommend. Primarily driven on shitty roads, so didn't really want anything stiffer. They are a million times better than the shagged old Sachs, but that was how it came, so I don't have a like for like comparison. Web wisdom claims the Bilstein B4's are "10% stiffer than stock". I'm very happy with them. Edit: ended up getting them from FCP as Spareto took my order then a week later said they couldn't supply them, last December. (Well, they could do 3, but not front right ... which wasn't much good to me!). Edited 23 hours ago by dln Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZ_InFerno 396 Report post Posted 21 hours ago B4s also the closest equivalent to the M-Sport shocks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4112 Report post Posted 21 hours ago You'll also want BMW Performance bumpstops and boots, not standard "motorsport" ones. The BMWP ones are shorter, less crashy, and ultimately safer over their life. Similar/same price as regular ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mmario 64 Report post Posted 10 hours ago I am about to embark on this as well, going with B4s. @M3AN , do you have a part number or link for the M performance bump stops my search skills are failing me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We could look at combining orders to save on shipping. I am guessing each order would be over the $1K GST threshold anyway. I want to buy them asap.

Danch 41 Report post Posted 9 hours ago Where are you ordering them from? Keen to know the list of part numbers if you don't mind sharing. I'd be looking at ordering a set at some point. How much are you paying in total? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a set of b4s on my car currently that will coming off as I'm doing an M3 rear end swap. They only have 10kms and where installed November last year. I wasn't planning on taking them off for another 2 months but I could take them off now as the car isn't being driven due to the current as it's on semi slicks. Let me know if you would be interested, they have the shorter Z8 front bumpstops and the now NLA BMW performance e90 euro rears, would include the new top mounts and the springs to save you having to swap your front springs on. Picture from November last year just before I installed them for reference, note the rear bumpstops in that picture aren't the BMWP ones as they didn't turn up until December.
