WTB: Rear shocks for Z3

Recommended Posts

As it says... Would like new/used rear shocks for the Z3.

I've been buying Meyle shocks and struts from MillAnd in Dunedin for the Z3's that pass through my workshop.  Last set in Feb 2018 where $115 ex GST each.  They are OK and comparable with the originals.

If your Z3 is a Jap import, you'll likely find that it is fitted with M Sport suspension.  Check your build spec.  It's a 12 mm drop from the standard suspension.  The correct shocks/struts for it are only available through BMW and are eye wateringly expensive.  Just fit standard shocks/struts.

Thanks for the tip.  My car is NZ new 2.8 without M suspension.

KYB Excel-G can be bought at supercheap fro $130 inc GST each. Any experience with those?

I'm look for something with a lot of damping.  I would like Bilstein HD but that'll be $500 for the pair.

Yes, KYB Excel-G have a good reputation in the Z3 world for an OE type of ride.
