rear shockers? how much? alternatives?

[dave wilkinson]

one of my rear shockers has burst and bmw want £286 for the pair and there's a 10 day wait.
is there an alternative (aftermarket ect) thats just as good or should i just give bmw the go ahead and get them ordered?

(not ready for coilover and top mounts yet, leaving that till winter time)

The upside is if you get them from bmw they come with 2 years warranty if they fit them

Also is the car under warranty ? How many miles ?
If its under 60,000 it will be coverd as they should last that long

I have a pair lying in my shed, make me an offer they have only done 14k and came off in February.
