DESCRIPTION
The Bilstein B4 range are high quality gas shock absorbers that are engineered as direct replacements for the worn factory shocks on your E30. Made in Germany by the very best in the industry, these shocks will vastly improve the way your BMW rides and handles due to their design and use of high quality componentry. The perfect solution for most people, they will restore the finesse and suspension damping back to the way your car felt when it first rolled out of the factory.
All variants of the E30 were released with both 46mm and 51mm strut housings, with no strict rules as to which models came out with which. Unfortunately we’re unable to determine which struts your E30 has from your VIN. We strongly advise all customers to measure the diameter of the strut before ordering. A simple way of finding out whether you have 46mm or 51mm suspension on your E30 is by placing a piece of string around the strut tube and then measuring the string.

HELPFUL TIPS
The shock absorbers fitted to your car from the factory have a relatively short life before they fall out of there efficacy range and fail to deliver the same damping abilities they once did. Replacing yours will not only overhaul your car’s handling and comfort, but its safety as well.
