Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Aug 08, 2008 4:31 pm) good thing for him i get 20% discount from the dealer through my shop but is still 1/3 more than bilstein and almost 3 times as much from gabriel as my cost from autozone well, safety is definitely more important than a couple of hunder bucks for him and other drivers on the highway. thank you all for your feedbacks to confirm my thought. is just like racing, sometime you want to try to get away with it to strecth the dollar when you can. but sometime is not worth losing a race or worse by getting cheap parts!!!! experienced that too many times

Replying to: gmonkies (Aug 08, 2008 5:42 pm) I've heard some really scary numbers here. We are talking thousands of dollars, right?

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Aug 08, 2008 5:58 pm) $831 each for the front and $542 each for the rear. $2746 for all four. My E24 M6 had the self-leveling rear shocks and it was a simple matter to switch over to regular Bilsteins if you didn't want to pay to fix whatever failed. I don't see why you couldn't simply replace the EDC shocks with Bilstein Sport or BMW M Sport dampers. As for bargain shocks, I have a friend who fitted Monroe shocks to his E39 wagon. He's a fairly hard-core enthusiast and he was pleased with the results(the Monroes are made in Europe, FWIW).

Replying to: roadburner (Aug 08, 2008 7:59 pm) Well anyway, thanks for that. We seem to be drifting out of M3 territory, so maybe we should get back on topic, unless this also applies to M3 cars. ?? |

my top stops half way up...It will go back down but won't go all the way up. it's Sunday so I thought I might throw this out for a quick solution! Thanks, Rroscher

Replying to: rroscher (Oct 12, 2008 6:59 am) So can you gently urge it upwards with your hand? If it works with hand-assist, I'd say it's probably hydraulic. If it just jams up there, maybe there's a busted arm or bad bushing in the mechanicals.
