E36 OEM shocks manufacturers?

[cbes]

Hi,

Anyone know who they are? I suppose they'll manufacture for after-market as well. I would like to get 'original equipment' but at a after-market price

Try AFRISHOX.

Speak to a guy by the name of Ted Garstang.
or email him, his response time is really very impressive.
i bought a set of H&R springs for my E36.
he deals with the factories in Germany, he will be able to help. OEM and After market.

Dont quote me, but i think OEM is Boge.

Boge,Sachs and Bilstein are OEM for E36 although Bilstein's were a dealer fit option

Thx guys,

Got prices at the dealer today - R900 ea for the rear shocks, R1800 ea for the front.
It is almost in line with the Euro prices of Bilstein shocks I got from this webpage:

Gabriel and bilstein are OEM for E46. Not sure about e36. Try goldwagon. They now stock BMW parts. i bought Front shocks and tops as well as rear shocks for a very reasonable price.
