Default Front Shock Replacement - '08 535XI with Sport Package

Hey Guys,

Issue: Need new front shocks for '08 535XI Sport Package w/ 97k. Front left is leaking oil.

I cannot find after market. Only OEM available. To make matters worse, cost for the parts is more than the cost to have the dealer install them.

Anyone have any suggestions for replacing front shocks on my car? Help!

Thanks,

Mikleve

Go to tirerack.com and do a search for your car's suspension parts. Even if they don't ship to Canada they will list a lot of available options.

Got the Bilsteins B6l, the cheapest place was Bavarian Autosport. I did the shock mounts and spring seats at the same time.
