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. ?? |

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.

Replying to: rroscher (Oct 12, 2008 7:49 am) You might check for a hydraulic leak, as that could damage the upholstery or paint surfaces back there.
