318is And Tech 2's have Black Gas Boge shocks, the yellow ones are replacements.

My iS has Bilsteins.

I haven't really looked what my track car has yet though.

318is And Tech 2's have Black Gas Boge shocks, the yellow ones are replacements.

Mine were original to when the car was new. The rears were yellow but the fronts were black. The sport had 32k on it when i got it and still has the blue co screw blanking plug. It was completely original when i got it.

So whats the firmer ride billies or boge?

Well i changed from 15mm Mtech springs and late boge's which were in perfect condition to eibach 40mm springs with bilstien B8's and the ride is virtually the same.

The Boge Turbo shock is the brand name for the Boge gas shocks and are available for MTEC suspensions. They are black in colour. The shocks on the back end of my iS are yellow in colour and look very old, so could be original as there is nothing in the receipts I got with the car to suggest they were ever replaced.

[Cloggy Saint]

A bit off topic, but I may need to replace my rear shocks soonish. I see ECP have shocks by Anschler at 15 quid each(!) Are they as crap as the price suggests?

[murran]

i have a set of bilstien gas ones on my touring. new bump stops all round, standard springs. just feels nicly attached to the road, not harsh at all. and i like a nice ride and ground clearance!

[markus_74]

I have changed 2x my front and rear boge shock every 25,000 mil is it normal? Which is more durable?
bilst or boge as my road condition in my area has variation.

Thanks
Markus

i've seen bilseins which are still in good condition last well over 50,000 miles.

These are the orginal 'late spec' boges from the rear of my sport which made up part of the Mtech suspension as fitted to late sports and 318is's.
