[bmwfreak]

Hi,

I am need of new shocks and was wondering wchich ones do you recommend. I was thinking of the Billstein touring class. I have a 1996 318ti (M sport-package). I am new to this car and do not know exactly what the M sport package consits of. Can anybody please explain?

Thanks

bilsten are probably the nicest you can get.

agreed.

Bilsteins are the only way to go for shocks.

If you want springs as well, go with H&R or Eibach.

Thanks for the reply.

Bilstein has three type of shocks but I do not know which ones to get. they have the following:

Touring Series
HD (Heavy duty) and
Sports.

I have the stock sport suspension but I am wondering if the Touring will work since they are less $$$

Thanks again

you may have a similar ride, what are you trying to accomplish in the end? more performance? same ride? etc etc

I live in NY I’ve got some Bilstein HD with some M5 17” replicas when I drive the car for a long time or when I get out I get blur vision cause there’re so many pot holes here in NY ghead thank God I didn’t buy any lowering springs or I’ll be dead by now, but the car handles very will thou. Now every time I hit a pot hole big or small the car’s interior make lot of vibrating sounds. So watch what you buy if you got lots pot holes like NY leave it along.
