BMW E39 shock absorber advice

[carbon83]

Hello all

I need to replace the front shocks on my E39. There are some on eBay by A-Premium for £120 for the pair. Otherwise there are some SACHS one for £250 for the pair.

I would like to know if it is worth going for the SACHS one or will the A-Premium be suffice? I do about 1000 miles in the car a year which is mostly used in the spring / summer.

Cheers!

SE or Sport E39?

Saloon or Touring?

I have a full Excel spreadsheet of all relevant BMW E39 suspension parts, their OEM details and relevant aftermarket equivalents; if you send me a message by clicking on my user name and go to 'email me' I can send it to you

I'd always recommend you go Sachs over any other make as they're OEM; especially over any 'Ebay Premium' stuff...
