2006 525i Needs shocks
 
Hello,

my 2006 525i E60 needs new shocks. I'm not interested in lowering, I just want to keep the existing stock ride (non-sport). Should I get the Bilstein B4 or B6?

Thanks in advance!

If you want the existing ride, you want Sachs, which were OEM, not Bilstein.

Bilsteins are cheaper! Lol

You're not going to keep the existing stock ride then. Trust me. I made that mistake with Bilsteins.

What don’t you like about them?

Too stiff.

Were yours the B4?

Yes

Sure, but you'll probably get what you pay for.
