My Ride: 2004 BMW 530i
Well I have recently discovered that the struts on my 2004 530i are bad. The stealer quoted $1400 for the parts (and that was the wholesale price they gave my mechanic who is family) I am wondering where I could get replacements for a little less $$$ thanks!

You could get some Koni struts. 
You'll be looking at about $800 for both front & rear.

Superb. It's what a lot of people buy for aftermarket shocks.
Alright I'll keep that in mind. I wouldn't mind saving the money (and I think my dad will agree).

I carry CROSS/JIC coilovers and Koni shocks.

I had Koni's on my Acura, and man, they are better than stock!
+1 for Mike as well, I've yet to get something from him but he is quick to reply and has the best prices.
