I just bought a set of Bav auto springs and was wondering what type of shocks and struts people on this site recommended i think im between Koni and Bilstein (touring or sport?). Im not looking for a race set up just a little tighter but i don't want to knock my fillings out if i hit a bump :roll: .
Thanks For any recomendations

Bilstiens are good for the money (About £100 + vat each for the fronts, for M3 shocks) which will fit straight into the 51mm cases (325i and M3, and I believe some tourings had the 51mm legs as well?)
