Product Information

Shock absorbers are a common wear item on higher mileage vehicles in general. On a more performance oriented vehicle such as a BMW worn or completely blown shock absorbers will have a negative effect on performance and handling. If your BMW's ride has become bouncy over rough road surfaces there is a good chance that the shock absorbers will need to be replaced.

WARNING: Proposition 65 information
Suspension Shock Absorber

If your suspension is feeling "bouncy" or "loose" it can likely be attributed to blown or worn shock absorbers. The purpose of shock absorbers is to dampen the recoil of the coil spring as your travel over dips and bumps in the road.

Suspension Shock Absorber Failure Symptoms
  • Noise over bumps
  • Squeaks
  • Leaks
  • Poor Handling
  • Harsh ride

Stiff Shocks
These are very durable. I know since I mounted them on my X3 for a trip to Tuktoyaktuk in Northern Canada, along with a set of 17" rims and A/T tires. Very rough roads in the hot sun, and these B6s seem to get more composed and comfortable as the speeds increase. I never sensed fade and they protected me from unexpected potholes at 90kms. But the reason I wanted to write this review is to say that at low speeds, they are quite stiff on anything but flat pavement. So they feel very stiff but they do take corners dead flat, almost no body roll and are great at high speed on a highway and could handle very high levels or cornering speed; I felt completely in control. However, around town they were honestly too stiff for my taste. I went back to stock shocks afterwards, so it was a bit of a waste. Conclusion: In my opinion, B6s are bad for a daily driver, good for a very high performance / high speed setup on or off road.
