New shocks /struts
So I'm planning a refresh on my suspension just wondering what's the best shocks to go for do I keep it oem? Or go aftermarket? Price wise shocks from the dealer are expensive so what's the best alternative on the market or can I get the same Sachs shocks from another source? Thoughts?

I switched to Bilstein B14 and think they are great. Good to have the adjustability when you head to the track.

Normal M3 rear shocks have a different number and are cheaper.
What's the difference ? CSL Tax maybe ? |

No idea but with the B14s you can adjust them till you are happy. There is nothing magical about the OEM items, the Bilsteins are a much higher quality item. Serviceable too when the time comes.
