Default E60 - E61. Same front shock?

Hi.

I have one question... Can I mount an e60 front shock in my e61? Are they the same? I know that the rear are diferent, because e61 have autoleveling air system, but I have no idea about the front.

I'm looking the best airride setup for my e61, but I only find E60 airstruts, nothing to E61.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks. I wait your answer.

Regards from Spain.

Searching, I have found that Bilstein have the same part.no in the front shocks for e60 and e61.

In realoem, BMW haven't the same part.no for e60/e61.



What do you think?

Thanks.

Already told ya sir! RWD e61 uses the same front chassis as the RWD e60. AWD e61 uses AWD e61 components.

Only problem is neither Air Force or Airrex will get back to me about splitting up a kit and pricing for you.
